The Detroit Tigers came into last offseason with some money to spend and a lot of aggressiveness.
They made a few solid moves to boost their roster, but the decision to sign veteran pitcher Alex Cobb left a lot of Tigers fans and MLB analysts scratching their heads. This decision never quite made that much sense.
FanSided's Zachary Rotman recently bashed the Tigers for their decision to sign Cobb to a $15 million deal during the offseason. Rotman listed it as the biggest free agency disaster of the offseason.
"The Detroit Tigers giving 37-year-old Alex Cobb a one-year, $15 million deal felt awfully questionable following a season in which he made just five starts between the regular season and postseason, especially when taking his lengthy injury history into account," Rotman wrote.
