Tigers general manager Al Avila said Tuesday that the team will shed payroll this offseason and that means he'll listen to offers on any player currently on the roster.

Speaking on MLB Network, Avila said the Tigers no longer can sustain a level of spending that saw them dish out a club-record $200 million-plus in 2016.

First baseman Miguel Cabrera, right-handers Justin Verlander and Jordan Zimmermann, outfielders Justin Upton and J.D. Martinez, and second baseman Ian Kinsler are among the Tigers players set to make at least $11 million in 2017.

"At the very beginning, I said this may be a process that takes three winters, not just one winter," Avila said, according to MLB.com. "Now people are like, 'Oh, they are going to trade everyone.' No. I don't know who we are going to trade yet. We want to trade the right guys and certain things might take until next winter. ...

"The goal is to shed payroll and get better. Now, how do you do that? It may not all be accomplished in one shot. It's a process. I'm going to keep on saying that. It's not a process you do in three months. It's one you do by changing the philosophy and way you go about it moving forward -- as opposed to every year going out and signing big-time free agents and trading away your prospects.

"Are there going to be good, viable trades out there? We will find out. If there are not, we will wait ... I think there's going to be interest in several of our players. I do. It's just a matter of where we go with those talks."

A person familiar with the Tigers' thinking told ESPN's Jerry Crasnick that while the Tigers will listen on some of their high-priced players, they think they have a chance to make a run in 2017 with a rotation of Verlander, Zimmermann, Michael Fulmer, Matt Boyd and Daniel Norris.
