Report: Tigers sign second baseman Josh Harrison; seeking first base help too

Lakeland, Fla. — When shortstop Jordy Mercer first showed up at TigerTown after signing a one-year, $5.25 million contract, he wondered who his double-play partner would be.

After all, in his first seven seasons in the big leagues he played with just two full-time second basemen with the Pirates -- Neil Walker and Josh Harrison.

Well, he may still only know two double-play partners. Looks like he's going to be reunited with Harrison.

The Tigers and the 31-year-old Harrison agreed on a one-year deal, pending a physical examination, Ken Rosenthal of MLB Network and The Athletic reported.
