Probable Detroit Tigers who may come back

Michael Fulmer: Arbitration Year 4- Need to see the health situation play out, but at 3.1 million for this year and a small raise likely in his last year before free agency, I believe we will see Fulmer retained.

Greyson Greiner: Arbitration Year 1- Lots of variables here with needing to see performances from Jake Rogers and Eric Haase the rest of the season and Dillon Dingler possibly arriving at some point in 2022 for his first taste of the majors, having Greiner in the fold for one more year as depth makes sense and his cost will be minimal.

Should Not be Tendered a Contract:

Joe Jimenez, Buck Farmer, Harold Castro, Victor Reyes, Niko Goodrum- Time to move away from the AAAA gang and the days of filling space and look towards the future. They did their job, now it’s time they become remembered in 20 plus years like1990’s icons Kimera Bartee and Gabe Alvarez.

Christian Stewart and JaCoby Jones would also be arbitration-eligible but are no longer on the 40 man roster and I don’t expect them to be at any point before moving on to new organizations or countries at the end of this season.
