Tigers sign Justin Upton

[Pugz]

Roughly four weeks before Alex Gordon re-signed with Kansas City, Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila told reporters he had ended conversations with the 32-year-old outfielder, and that chances of a reunion with Yoenis Cespedes were shot, too.

Avila didn't say anything, however, about Justin Upton.

According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the Tigers are close to a long-term deal with Upton, the three-time All-Star who turned 28 in August.

6/126 isnt that bad i guess

Ive always liked upton. Surprised more teams didnt

[.infamous]

Not bad

 

[Teagz]

I enjoy this

 

[Pugz]

his contract is 6/$132M. opt out after two. still like it

 

[snipezo]

This is a reasonable deal, but Upton doesn't really strike me as someone who will age well.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

I like it.  Definitely a good deal considering he's only 28. 

 

[Pugz]

hes opting out after the first two unless he gets a serious injury.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Always possible.
