December 2 in Tigers and mlb history :

1916 - The National Commission orders that injured players shall get full pay for the duration of their contracts. The injury clause previously let clubs suspend players after 15 days' pay.

1937 - At the minor league meeting in Milwaukee, WI, the Detroit Tigers send Gee Walker, Marv Owen and Mike Tresh to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Vern Kennedy, Tony Piet and Dixie Walker. The trade causes an uproar with Tigers fans, and owner Walter Briggs issues an announcement from his Miami, FL home that "the deal was made with my approval." Kennedy will start next season with nine straight wins, but end up the year at 12-9.

1961 - Major league clubs vote to curb bonuses. All first-year players not on major league rosters, except one minor leaguer, can be drafted by any other club for $8,000. Clubs are expected to be unwilling to pay large bonuses for players who will be subject to a draft for just $8,000.

Joel Zumaya said the Red Sox expressed an interest in him as soon as he hit free agency, reports MLB.com's Jason Beck. Boston will be one of the 10 or more teams present when Zumaya throws a mound session in two weeks. The right-hander underwent elbow surgery in March and didn't pitch last season.

If the Tigers don't bring Zumaya back, just any other team but the redsox.

chances of Tigers signing
Buehrle: 60-40.
Cespedes: 30-70.

Would be very surprised if Buehrle takes less than four years, $50 million. So many teams are bidding, he's in the driver's seat.
