The Detroit Tigers were busy at the 2015 Trade Deadline, shipping away David Price, Yoenis Cespedes and Joakim Soria for a crop of young prospects. It was widely believed that the team would look to bring back Price and Cespedes, but rumblings about Soria were quiet, until now.
Tony Paul, baseball writer for the Detroit News, said on Twitter Monday night that the team will look to bring back the 31-year-old reliever.
#Tigers will explore a Joakim Soria reunion shortly after free-agency begins midnight Friday night. Given his options, could take time.
