The Tigers are interested in free agent outfielder Coco Crisp, according to Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com (all Twitter links). The team has a projected outfield of Delmon Young, Austin Jackson and Brennan Boesch, but seems to be considering additions.  The switch-hitting Crisp led the American League with 49 stolen bases in 2011, hitting .264/.314/.379 with 27 doubles as Oakland's center fielder. The Tigers could trade an outfielder, most likely Young, if they sign a free agent such as Crisp. The California native seems to prefer West Coast teams, but explained in September that he’s also looking to play on a winner and find a good "financial situation" for himself. The A’s remain interested in re-signing him. The Tigers still want to round out their rotation with a starting pitcher and a trade is more likely than a signing, according to Knobler.

Nobody ***** With The DeJesus

Via Cub Reporter  |  November 30, 2011
(props to Jacos for the headline) The Cubs signed OF David DeJesus to a 2-year/$10 million deal with a 3rd year club option. It's actually $4.25M for the next two years with a $1.5M buyout or $6.5M in 2014. A Jim Bowden tweet indicates that the Cubs told him DeJesus will be the everyday right fielder. Dejesus will be 32 next season and played for the A's last year and had...

DeJesus signs with Cubs...

Via Mets Fever  |  November 30, 2011
Only reason I'm posting about this guy coming off the board is because there were many Mets fans who wanted him signed. David DeJesus has signed a two year 10M contract with the Cubs. The problem with DeJesus is that he doesn't have the typical power for the NL corners and no longer has the range to be a starting center fielder. I think DeJesus is better suited for the...

David DeJesus a Great Fit for the Cubs

Via Bloguin Best  |  November 30, 2011
About a month ago, I ranked David DeJesus as the fourth best available free agent centerfielder. DeJesus only started six games in center for the A’s last season, but my inclusion of him in the centerfield ranks was more due to the lack of free agent depth at that position than anything else. Here’s what I wrote in my free agent primer… 2011 was a tough season for DeJesus....
