Jim Bowden predicts $54 million contract for Casey Mize with Tigers

Jim Bowden projects a three-year, $54 million contract for Casey Mize, suggesting the Detroit Tigers as the best fit. The projection weighs Mize's potential against his injury history, particularly noting his struggles and a 7.46 ERA in San Diego this year compared to a 2.70 ERA with the Tigers. Bowden emphasizes that the Tigers should consider Mize's medical history before committing, stating that past injuries raise significant doubts about his reliability for a multi-year deal. The discussion around Mize's future with Detroit remains speculative without further resolution on his health and performance consistency.
