It's Time
Year 5 of the rebuild and signs are far from looking up. The 2021 Detroit Tigers are awful, but this is hardly a new thing given the way things have been in the past few years. That being said, I do not think this is going to change anytime soon either. This is why I am stating these are the reasons it is time to fire Al Avila.
1. Trades
Avila has been horrible when it comes to premier trades or star Tigers players. Think about the returns that the Tigers have seen for our superstars. Verlander, Martinez, Castellanos, all returns were underwhelming to say the least. Ironically his best trade was when he decided to trade his son and Justin Wilson to the Cubs. Candelario alone might have been worth the trade, however, one good trade does not excuse the fact that Al Avila has been swindled multiple times in the past 5 years when it comes to the trade market.
