Tigers, Zimmermann reportedly reach deal

DETROIT -- The Tigers on Sunday have reportedly come to terms with right-hander Jordan Zimmermann, according to CBSSports.com. FOX Sports said the deal is expected to be for five years and roughly $110 million. The Tigers have not commented.

FOX reported late Saturday night that the two sides were in negotiations, which were believed to have grown serious. A baseball source later confirmed the two sides were in talks, though no deal was believed to have been finalized.

The veteran rejected the Nationals' qualifying offer and will thus require draft-pick compensation for signing with another club.
