I see the Tigers signed Joba Chamberlain for the 2014 season at $2.5 million plus incentives.
Chamberlain's deal with DET: 1-year, $2.5 million, plus performance bonuses.

To show how high salaries have gone, and how much Joba’s stock has fallen, 2.5 million doesn’t even buy a team 1/2 a WAR anymore.
Detroit employs a number of pitchers who command the strike zone. Maybe Chamberlain can learn a thing or two from them.
Good thing Fielder is gone as otherwise they would need a bigger charter on road trips.
