I would really like to establish a "Japanese Midwest" connection for the Tigers.

Where they could actually be considered a possible destination. I don't like getting shut out of this pipeline.

We have a selling point in that Michigan has far superior weather than the west coast.

No earthquakes.

And a winter wonderland (Offer FREE Snowmobile rides!!!)

It’s not constantly burning the heck down either! GO MICHIGAN!

Only when they win the World Series.

I think the only way the Tigers sign a good free agent is if some pitcher is not happy with his offers and signs a one year show me deal with a team with a good pitching coach and a pitchers park.  Michael King?

I don't think King will go for a 1-year.

If he is not happy with the long term offers he gets (or doesn't); I think some team will be happy to give him a shorter contract (3-year) at a high AAV with opt outs.

Plus he costs a draft pick. Who would want to sign him to a 1-year and also lose a draft pick?

I think it would only be a third round pick.  However, I understand your point.  Somebody might do that, but probably not Harris.
