The Tigers declined to take advantage of their $15 million option on Magglio Ordonez, although according to Jason Beck, they’re still keeping the door open to a possible return by the right fielder. After a rough 2009, Magglio Ordonez took some big strides in returning to form before his season ended prematurely because of that freakish injury when he broke his ankle sliding into home plate in late July.
It looks like Magglio Ordonez wants to stay in Detroit as well but the wild card will be Ordonez’s agent, Scott Boras. It’ll be interesting to see how much money it costs with the injury risks and my bet is, the Tigers get him to an incentive laden deal.
