Just heard it on the radio and also read it here. Maggs has told his agent, Scott Boras, he wants to play in Detroit and instructed him to make a counter offer to the Tigers apparent offer - whatever that was. Something tells me this could be done within the next couple days and that the Tigers finally will land another free agent this off season. It sounds like the offer is in the ball park of the 5 year $70 million deal he turned down from the White Sox. He turned that one down because I am hearing he no longer wanted to play there.
It would be a great signing for the Tigers, much better than the Sammy Sosa option, as long as the contract was written like Pudge's and had "outs" for injuries and such. We will keep you posted - the sports dude.

Maggs close?

No kidding?! Wow... That'd be great to have him. I still think one year of injury isn't reason to panic. He could be a 300/30/100 addition to this club. I look forward to watching this unfold!
