Detroit Tigers no longer targeting Joakim Soria after trading for closer Francisco Rodriguez

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers and Joakim Soria expressed mutual interest in a reunion earlier this month.

Not anymore.

In light of the arrival of closer Francisco Rodriguez, talks between the Tigers and Soria have stalled.

Asked if a reunion between the Tigers and Soria is still possible, a source familiar with the situation said: "There's a slight possibility, but it's very doubtful."

The breakdown in talks between the two sides shouldn't come as a big surprise, given the acquisition of Rodriguez and the heavy amount of interest Soria has garnered from other teams this offseason.
