News & Notes

The Detroit Tigers have apparently entered into negotiations with Ted Williams. Sources say the Tigers were unsure about how to approach the superstar, worried that some type of tampering charges might be filed if they showed their interest publicly. They apparently reached out directly to commissioner Ford Frick, who said the new free agency process is in fact available to anyone and there are no restrictions in regards to communications with players.

The Tigers have apparently come in hard with an offer approaching $125,000 per year, a dollar amount that would make the Splendid Splinter the higest paid player in baseball.
