The Detroit Tigers' search for another front-line starting pitcher has landed on Oakland A's veteran lefty Scott Kazmir, as the Tigers scouting staff has been hot on Kazmir's trail in advance of the MLB trade deadline on July 31st.
Via Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle:
The usual crowd of scouts are here for Kazmir's start tonight; the Blue Jays, Tigers, Royals and Yankees are among those represented.

Kazmir, 31, has been dominant as of late, giving up just one earned run over his last three starts (19.1 innings).
"There was never really a stressful moment after the first inning,” All-Star A's catcher Stephen Vogt said of Kazmir’s lights-out performance against Minnesota in Oakland on Saturday night. "He was some kind of good."
