he Detroit Tigers need pitching, lots of it — in the rotation and in the bullpen — and finding it is their main off-season priority.

But they need a leftfielder, too.

Looking at the free-agent leftfielders, the team will have a number of choices.

They could attempt a reunion with Yoenis Cespedes or try for terrific two-way player Alex Gordon. They could shell out serious money for a veteran like Ben Zobrist, whose services are coveted by 29 other teams, or settle on a platoon partner for Tyler Collins.

But if the Tigers wade into the big-money waters — Cespedes, Gordon and Zobrist will command lucrative, multiyear deals — they would all but sacrifice their chance at landing a front-line starting pitcher, one who can slot into their top three, which is general manager Al Avila's hope.

And even though the team is high on Collins, who was solid in 2015 but not spectacular enough to win the job entering 2016, the position will have to be addressed in some fashion, and most likely, a cost-effective one.

That option could be Gerardo Parra, who might be a perfect fit.

Parra, 28, hit .291 with 14 homers and 51 RBIs with the Brewers and Orioles in 2015. He swings left-handed, plays solid defense (won NL Gold Gloves in 2011 and 2013) and has one of the best arms in baseball. In seven seasons, he is a .277 career hitter.

He doesn't fit as a platoon partner with Collins — both are left-handed hitters — but Parra, who made $6.2 million in 2015, could assume the everyday role, leaving Collins as the No. 4 outfielder.
