Avila to target short-term moves at GM Meetings
(MLB.com Detroit Tigers)

The winds were gusting across Michigan on Tuesday as winter drew a little closer. By contrast, the warm ocean breezes in Carlsbad, California, were a welcome greeting for Al Avila and others general managers as MLB`s GM Meetings picked up in earnest. The mild weather was also an apt symbol for where the Tigers stand heading into the second offseason of their rebuilding project. The gusty winds of change that carried veterans out of Detroit this fall have ebbed, leaving the Tigers with smaller moves to discuss this week.
