Cameron Maybin: Traded to Tigers

Maybin was traded to the Tigers Friday in exchange for Ian Krol and Gabe Speier.

Analysis:

Maybin had something of a bounce-back season in his lone year in Atlanta, slashing .267/.327/.370 while reaching career highs with 10 home runs and 59 RBI, but his career now comes full circle as he returns to the organization that drafted him in 2005. The Tigers went with Anthony Gose in center field in 2015, but Maybin figures to take on an everyday role in Detroit. He's still signed through the end of the 2017 season and will be just 29 years old by the start of the 2016 season.
