The Detroit Tigers have nabbed another free agent on the radars of several MLB teams. The Tigers are officially going for it.
The Tigers apparently signed Victor Martinez for four years and $50 million. He apparent was offered three years adn $36 million or four years and $42 million from the Boston Red Sox. No word yet if the Rangers even offered him a deal or not.
That's a lot of money. He's 31 and will be 35 when the deal ends. All for a guy that's probably better suited for first base or the DH spot.
The Rangers are still without a catcher with Bengie Molina probably retiring and Matt Treanor being Matt Treanor.
Miguel Olivo and A.J. Pierzynski are still available and will be much cheaper.
