Tigers re-sign shortstop Everett for one year

Content to stick with their same shortstop situation, the Tigers have re-signed free agent Adam Everett to a one-year deal. Everett was believed to be seeking a raise from $1 million to the $3 million range, even though he hit just .238/.288/.325 in 345 at-bats last season. The Tigers received superior production from the arbitration-eligible Ramon Santiago, who hit .267/.318/.386 in 262 at-bats, but they don’t view him as an everyday shortstop. Everett is likely to continue logging the majority of the time at the position. He’s not when he used to be with the glove -- he was almost certainly the game’s best defensive shortstop in his prime with the Astros -- but he’s still clearly above average. Of course, he has to be in order to carry his bat. The 613 OPS last season was his best mark since 2006. He’s a career .245/.297/.351 hitter. Update - FOXSports.com’s Ken Rosenthal says Everett will make $1.55 million next season.
