Tigers Hot Stove Cooling Off? Not So...

The Detroit Tigers, shut out so far by Carl Pavano, Troy Glaus, Steve Finley, and others, are reportedly working on deals with Derek Lower, J.D. Drew, and Corey Koskie. Although they're not expected to land all three, it is safe to say that two of three positions could be filled.

Lowe has a reported 3 year deal on the table, Drew has a reported 4 year, $36 million deal on the table. Both are represented by Scott Boras, the agent that brought Ivan Rodriguez to Detroit last year. Boras spent a good deal of time speaking with the Tigers Saturday night.

Among other offers was an offer to Corey Koskie. "We have made him an offer," Dombrowski said, "but I can't say that I feel confident that it's going to be a situation that develops necessarily for us. But I don't know what other scenarios are out there at this point."

Scott Boras is a tough negotiator. Unless one of his clients is completely swept away by Detroit, don't expect a quick negotiation, or any news of signings this weekend.
