News dropped this morning that the Detroit Tigers — not the St. Louis Cardinals — are signing free agents right-hander Jordan Zimmerman. From CBS Sports’ John Heyman:
The deal is pending a physical.
FoxSports.com first reported the Tigers were in serious talks with Zimmermann late Saturday night.
Zimmermann becomes the first front-line pitcher to do a deal in a market stocked with excellent starters. He had been expected to get something in the neighborhood of $100 million, though terms are not yet known.
Zimmerman looks like a pretty good get for the Motor City Kitties.
