Management Speaks Out
Detroit Wolverines' management spoke out for the first time since their playoff run ended, thanks to the Syracuse Orange, as the winter meetings began to wind down. "Last season was a big disappointment here in Detroit. To finish with a sub .500 record was an embarrassement to the fans of Detroit. Sure we won our division but that's not saying much considering it was the weakest division in the majors last season. We've got some good guys here but we need to get back to playing baseball."
That was about all the excitement Detroit fans witnessed as little else was done with the team. Tomas Navarro was traded to the Bearcats for a minor league 1B player, Roy White Ching-Lung Komatsu and Manuel Guillen were all signed to long-term contracts but the Wolverines struck out on the few players they were after on the trading market. With most of their money tied up in arb cases, there looks to be even less activity on the FA market for the Wolverines.
