The Tigers and free-agent outfielder Justin Upton have agreed to a six-year deal worth $132.75 million, a source told ESPN's Jerry Crasnick. 

The contract includes an opt-out after the second year, which would allow Upton to go back on the market as a free agent at age 30, a source confirmed to Crasnick.

Terrible deal

He's slumped a lot last few years, and the opt out is almost like you hope he continues to slump and you really overpay

Or he rebounds and then just opts out after a year

Wow
