The Tigers avoid arbitration with another player and agree to terms with Marcus Thames on a one year deal.
I’ll post details when I have them.
UPDATE: Beck says it is a $1.275 million deal which is right in line with expectations. Congrats to Marcus on becoming a millionaire. The Tigers only have Miguel Cabrera and Bobby Seay as the remaining unsigned arb-eligible players.
If memory serves me right, we only have Seay and Cabrera left to sign. Hope Marcus got a decent raise!!
This is for ron who think ballplayers get paid way too much and Nate happens to agree with him.
