The beautiful thing about Detroit’s acquisition of David Price is that not only does it help the Tigers this year, but they now are in position to kiss off MaxScherzer this winter, knowing Price will be in their 2015 rotation.
You know the story: The Tigers offered Scherzer a
six-year, $144 million deal this spring, whichScherzer declined. So whenScherzer files for free agency after the season, the Tigers already have taken out an insurance policy against excess anxiety and wonder regarding next year’s rotation.
And here’s a prediction: The Tigers will wind up signing Price to the extension that never was possible for him in Tampa Bay. Tigers owner Mike Ilitch, 85, is doing everything he can to bring a World Series title to his beloved Detroit before it’s off to meet Ty Cobb, George Kell, Gates Brown, Mark Fidrych and the rest of the great Tigers in the sky.

some of the best in the country, easy). Price, by the way, makes his first start for the Tigers on Tuesday night in Yankee Stadium. Is Derek Jeter near another milestone?
