The Tigers' decision to decline their $3.1MM option on Mize is simply procedural, as he has not yet reached six years of service time needed to be a free agent.
Mize, who is still under arbitration control, is projected by MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz to earn a $2MM salary next season.
In addition to Mize, the Tigers also made moves regarding their 40-man roster by outrighting Bligh Madris, Ryan Vilade, and Bryan Sammons.
