Tigers Offer Contract To Hawkins?
Jon Paul Morosi of the Detroit Free Press writes that the Tigers have interest in free agent reliever LaTroy Hawkins and may have even offered him a multiyear contract. Among free agent relievers the Tigers have previously expressed interest in Octavio Dotel.
Dotel is 32 and a health risk, but he still has that huge strikeout rate. I'm guessing he wants at least two years, $12MM.
Hawkins is 35 and healthy; he did somehow manage to post a 3.42 ERA in 55 innings with the Rockies. That's not easy to do. But his 1.8 K/BB and 4.7 K/9 rates were not impressive. He might be after a two-year, $8MM deal.

Great news for the Twins. With Todd Jones and Hawkins (potentially) no lead is safe for the Tigers.
