3 years agoAccording to a tweet from The Detroit Free Press' Evan Petzold, the Detroit Tigers have reportedly agreed to terms with free agent shortstop Javier Baez. Per Petzold, it'll be a six-year, $140 million deal for the 28-year-old. Baez hit .265 with a .319 on-base percentage, 31 home runs, and 18 stolen bases in 547 plate appearances last season while registering a 116 wRC+. After trading for catcher Tucker Barnhart and signing starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez earlier this offseason, shortstop was the Tigers' most pressing need. They now have one in Baez, who should once again be a quality fantasy option next season. The veteran has hit at least 23 home runs and stolen at least 10 bases in each of his last four full seasons.--Ben Rosener - RotoBaller
