Dave Dombrowski and the Detroit Tigers have never been shy during free agency. This is the same club, after all, that threw $50 million at Victor Martinez to be the DH, paid Miguel Cabrera almost $200 million to "defend" at first and inexplicably traded Curtis Granderson for a mild return to save money, yet signed Johnny Damon almost immediately after the fact.Like their division rivals on Chicago's south side, they're tough to predict, but it...
