The Detroit Tigers have interest in signing veteran right-handed pitcher Taijuan Walker, according to a report late Wednesday evening from Jon Morosi of FOX Sports. At only 28 years old, Walker is on the younger end of the free agents available to clubs this offseason. It’s a logical match — Detroit badly needs help in their starting rotation. Unlikely to be able to fill that need from within, it’s only natural that they should be sniffing around one of the middle tier players available at the position.
Walker spent the 2020 season pitching for Seattle and Toronto, traded midway through the year to help the Blue Jays in their playoff push.
