Tigers deeply interested in Carl Crawford
By
Shortly after the 2010 World Series, Rays’ left fielder Carl Crawford will become one of the hottest free-agent on the market. Teams like the Angels and the Red Sox have shown interest on Crawford, but according to sources close to FOXSports’ Ken Rosenthal the Tigers are deeply interested on acquiring the speedy left fielder.
Rosenthal believes that Crawford would make a greater impact on the Tigers than he would do with any other team. Defensively he’ll be paired with Austin Jackson in the outfield – giving Detroit the speed necessary to cover the spacious Comerica Park.
Offensively, his speed will probably earn him more extra-base hits in Comerica Park than he did on Tropicana Field.
The 29-year-old is projected to sign a 6-7 year deal in the $96-126 million range.
