While there was little hope that the Detroit Tigers might find an impactful player to add to their outfield mix this offseason, the club has continued to keep an eye out for a bit of bargain help, and they have zeroed in on a target. Jon Heyman of MLB Network reported Wednesday morning that the Tigers were nearing a deal with former center fielder Cameron Maybin.
Update: Chris McCosky of the Detroit News reports that the one-year contract, worth $1.5 million, is done.
Obviously, Maybin has a long history with the Tigers organization.
