The Tigers' only move off an otherwise silent Winter Meetings was re-signing Kyle Finnegan to a two-year deal. It was expected — both sides were to quick to express interest in a return after Detroit's exit from the postseason — but necessary, and hopefully just the first step in a more comprehensive reworking of the bullpen.
There were some whispers about the Tigers' interest in free agent closer Kenley Jansen, but nothing materialized during Winter Meetings.
However, on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive was the first to report that the Tigers were nearing an agreement with Jansen, and Jeff Passan was on the agreement.
