Chicago White Sox: Washington Nationals interested in free agent Mark Buehrle - chicagotribune.com

I wonder if Chicago reporters do their homework before writing their articles. I think it's been pretty clear that Type B compensation will still be available this offseason only so the White Sox can expect a sandwich pick if Buehrle signs elsewhere. Assuming they offer arbitration by Wednesday that is...haven't followed the Buehrle saga that closely so I don't know if it's been done yet.

Although it's not very clear on that, but the consensus seems to be that the old compensation system will remain in place despite some of the Type A relievers not costing the team a draft pick. Should know more after tomorrow's presser.

Tigers Inquire On Mark Buehrle

The Tigers' rotation hasn't been considered a major concern, with Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Doug Fister, and Rick Porcello under team control through at least 2014 and top prospect Jacob Turner waiting in the wings. However, they're one of the many clubs inquiring on free agent lefty Mark Buehrle, reports Lynn Henning of the Detroit News.

The Tigers are familiar with Buehrle, since he made 34 career starts against them as a member of the White Sox. In Henning's opinion, signing him would allow the Tigers to use young pitching as trade bait. The number of reported Buehrle suitors reaches 14 if you include the Tigers, though the White Sox and Cardinals were part of that Jim Bowden tweet and those clubs are not considered likely.

Elsewhere on the free agent front, Henning says the Tigers have been following Yoenis Cespedes for years. Tigers vice president and director of amateur scouting David Chadd admits Cespdes is a "five-tool player." In a more speculative sense, Henning thinks Kelly Johnson and Octavio Dotel may be Tigers targets. The Tigers are known to have spoken with Aramis Ramirez's agent this month.

If Burls were to leave, him being on the Tigers would make Sox fans ill.

A little. Still love the guy though

 

[Capt. Serious]

And besides, that Tigers rotation doesn't scare me that much.

Outside Verlander, they have a bunch of inconsistent guys.
