Topics:

Paul interview:
Have the Tigers plateaued under Dave Dombrowski's control?
Did the team explore making a manager change with the availability of Joe Maddon (who became the Cubs' manager on Halloween) and Ron Gardenhire?
Do the Tigers have any other options, or is Victor Martinez a must sign player despite his advancing age and demand for a four-year deal?
How will the bullpen be addressed? Is there a possibility the Tigers eat the final year of Joe Nathan's deal?
Torii Hunter is a free agent, and Andy Dirks was released by the team, only to be claimed by the Blue Jays. How will center and right be addressed?
Is David Price trade bait?
Will the 2015 Tigers remain an elite team or is it one in decline?

In the second half of the show, the guys discuss what they have been up to since the end of the Tigers' season, give their thoughts on the World Series and why ratings were down, the busy day in Tigers' news, Miguel Cabrera's surgery, Dave Dombrowski not saying much of anything during his post season presser, what direction the team's payroll is headng, and which Tigers are trade bait.
