Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

December 19 in Tigers and mlb history:

1928 - Senators player-manager Bucky Harris is traded to the Tigers for infielder Jack Warner. The future Hall of Famer will replace George Moriarty (68-86, 6th place) as the Motor City skipper.

1983: The Tigers sign free agent slugger Darrell Evans, who hit .277 with 30 home runs for the Giants last season.

1986: After finding no other clubs interested in signing him, free agent pitcher and 20-game winner Jack Morris agrees to salary arbitration with the Tigers while at the same time accusing the major league owners of collusion against free agents.
Morris had offered to sign a one-year contract, with salary to be determined by an arbitrator, with either the Yankees, Angels, Twins, or Phillies, but was turned down by all four.

2003 Detroit signs veteran free agents Rondell White and Fernando Vina.
