The first of the big name free agent pitchers may be getting ready to come off the board. According to a report from Jon Paul Morosi, the Tigers are in serious talks with RHP Jordan Zimmermann.
Morosi did not go into much detail other than multiple sources indicated to him and Ken Rosenthal the Tigers in serious discussions with Zimmermann on a contract.
Zimmermann is believed to be on the Cubs’ list of free agent starting pitchers. The Dodgers have reportedly been focused on Zimmermann in recent days. But talks with the Tigers have apparently advanced.
