Tigers Hot Stove About To Boil

The Tigers have another positive glimpse of "hope" coming out of the winter meetings. Edgar Renteria is "definitely, seriously considering" signing with the Tigers.

Renteria hit .287 with 10 home runs and 72 RBIs for the Cardinals last season. He's a short stop, which would likely move Guillen over to the third base. There has been some talk that a move to third base could be easier on Guillen's repaired knee. Current third baseman, Brandon Inge, would likely head to center field.

Scott Boras believes that one of his clients is almost ready to sign with the Tigers. "Yes, I think I'll have some signings to announce (today)," Boras said. "Certainly one, possibly two." Lowe? Drew? Beltre? It's hard to say at this point. Boras represents an unusual amount of free agents this off-season.

The winter meetings are wrapping up today. If we don't hear something today, look for something later this week.
