Tigers To Sign Joe Nathan

The Tigers are in agreement with Joe Nathan on a two-year deal, according to
Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (Twitter link).

The 39-year-old Nathan is coming off one of the finest seasons of his storied
career, having pitched to a 1.39 ERA with 10.2 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 in 64 2/3
innings with the Rangers in 2013. Nathan added 43 more saves to his resume,
tying him for 10th all-time with the legendary Rollie Fingers at 341. In his
free agent profile of Nathan six weeks ago, MLBTR's Tim Dierkes predicted
that the active Major League saves leader would and a two-year deal worth
$26MM.

Nathan will fill a void that the Tigers were unable to fill early in the 2013
season when Bruce Rondon, Phil Coke and Jose Valverde were unable to solidify
the ninth inning. Though this year's free agent market is rife with closer
types -- Grant Balfour, Fernando Rodney, Joaquin Benoit, Edward Mujica, Jose
Veras, Kevin Gregg, Chris Perez all saved 20 or more games -- Nathan appears
to be the first domino to fall. Former Giants closer Brian Wilson is also
reportedly nearing a deal to return to the Dodgers, suggesting that the
relief market could pick up in the near future.

It's already been a highly active offseason for Tigers general manager Dave
Dombrowski. In addition to the Nathan deal, he's pulled off a blockbuster
trade by flipping Prince Fielder (and $30MM) to the Rangers for Ian Kinsler,
and he's also traded Doug Fister to the Nationals for Steve Lombardozzi, Ian
Krol and Robbie Ray.

Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports first reported that a deal
was close (on Twitter).
