He signed an extension in March 2013 just short of turning 24 and just after completing 3 complete seasons. His first two seasons he was strictly used as a reliever (novel concept). He was arbitration eligible and CHW bought out his remaining arbitration years.
2017 = $12.0 Mil
2018 = $12.5 Mil (club option, $1 Mil buyout)
2019 = $13.5 Mil (club option, $1 Mil buyout)
Talk about value. This is why BOS could send what they did in the trade. It isn't just about the player himself, but about the minimal amount of salary for ace production.
White Sox just fleeced Nats for Adam Eaton. Giolito and two other top arms for Chicago. Picked up 2 of the top 5 prospects in Baseball in 2 days

Good thing DD was shown the door.....
Detroit Tigers moves and rumors
The Tigers are gauging interest on former New York Yankee pitchers Justin Wilson and Shane Greene, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. This could be significant for the 2017 Tigers roster.
I imagine we'd get some Mackinaw Fudge for these two. No doubt we'd win that deal..
Wants to shed payroll...looks at guys making peanuts in the grand scheme of things. Wants to fix bullpen from within...must have confused "fix" with "pour gas on."
The franchise is pretty much in shambles now. We're desperate to shed payroll, but no one wants what we have to offer. If you can get a couple decent prospects for JV you take it. Keep Miggy because he puts asses in the seats everyday.
JV, Sanchez, Green, JD and Victor Martinez, Kinsler, Upton, Zim, and Wilson for several mid level prospects is about all we can hope for.
We are pretty screwed, but you've already made a decision to sell and rebuild, where teams compound the damage is going half way. Get rid of everyone making more than $7 Million a year save for Miggy who will keep the fans coming.
people aren't going to keep coming to watch Miggy on a 60-70 win team. They will come see anybody play on a winner. Avial has an almost impossible task in front of him. Attendance has been falling for 3 straight years. It will continue to drop next year unless for some reason they start the season on fire and are in first place all spring.

JV and Miggy aren't enough to keep the fans coming. They need a winner.
The Tiger's attendance peaked the year after they went to the WS in 2013 when they won 93 games. The attendance was 3.1 M that year.
2014 2.9M
2015 2.7M
2016 2.5M
In 2016 they ranked 7th out of 15 AL teams in attendance. I fully expect the attendance to drop another 200-300K this year if they are a .500 or worse team. If they really stink, it could easily drop below 2M.
