Tigers’ Eduardo Rodriguez set to join loaded free agent market

Eduardo Rodriguez is planning to opt out barring an extension by the incumbent Tigers — the logical call as management sources predict he easily beats the $49 million and three years he has left.

In a solid starting market, he should slot below Jordan Montgomery, who’s enhanced his case with a monster postseason.

There’s a big debate going over which free-agent pitcher — Yoshinobu Yamamoto or Blake Snell — will get the biggest deal….

The Marcus Stroman opt-out decision isn’t clear-cut even after returning late from hip/rib injuries (he’s never had an arm injury) and will come down to a multiyear deal or one year at $24 million with Cubs, a place he’s comfortable.
