Are the Detroit Tigers in fire sale mode?

Full story: www.inquisitr.com

In 2009 the Detroit Tigers had the fifth largest MLB payroll, and they failed to win their division, and they failed to make the playoffs. They are now facing a 201 season with a lot of dead money on the payroll, and since they are located in a state with double digit unemployment figures it surely means that their attendance will fall. Therefore the Tigers have to save money where they can, and since a lot of their bad contracts come off the books after the 2010 season, the front office appears willing to write off the 2010 season all together trade away a few pieces and look to rebuild for the future.
