You look at their rotation without Max and you wonder if it's really necessary for them to offer a lucrative multi year contract to him. I guess what I'm saying is: Max sign with the White Sox!!
Tom is right. The Tigers gave Max their best offer and he refused. It's all but official that he's gone. I think they're still stinging from the Verlander deal. He' was bad this year and only pitched well in Sept/Oct in 2013. They have $55 million tied up in him and Cabrera each year. I also agree that V-Mart HAS to come back if the Tigers don't want Miggy to break Barry Bond's walk record in 2015.

I am OK if the Tigers let Max walk as long as they spend the money they offered him ($20-25 million) on other upgrades like CF, Catcher, RF, and most of all the BULLPEN!!!!
