The Tigers are interested in free-agent closer Brian Wilson, According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal and JP Morosi. The Tigers are in the market for a closer and have reportedly narrowed their search down to veterans Joe Nathan and Wilson.
Both closers would be nice additions for the Tigers and they have the money to afford either, so it will be interesting to see who they chose. Both closers have suitable styles that would fit with the clubhouse, but I'm leaning towards Joe Nathan on this one.
Not only is he familiar with the Tigers and the division, but he isn't coming off Tommy John surgery and is more mild mannered of the two. It'll be interesting to see who they sign and when.
The Cubs are also in the market for a closer; however, they appear content with going with Pedro Strop in 2014. Wilson would be the logical add for the Cubs as he could close or pitch in the late innings. The Cubs need depth in the bullpen, especially if Strop isn't the answer.
Wilson is reportedly seeking a closing gig.
