Jason Beck of MLB.com writes that the Detroit Tigers’ next move may be an offensive upgrade, and that upgrade may be free agent Johnny Damon.

Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated said yesterday via Twitter: #tigers could be in play for damon, who hits .363, slugs .550 and has a .961 OPS at pitcher-friendly comerica park. Hayman later said that Damon and the Tigers have had talks.

The hold up is Scott Boras, Damon’s agent. Boras wants a multi-year deal for his client and he isn’t backing down. Boras has been requesting at least a two-year, $20 million deal.
