Tigers Eyeing Taschner
By Tim Dierkes
July 27

The Brewers, Mets, and Phillies have been linked to Giants' lefty Jack Taschner in the past. Today, MLB.com's Trade Talk blog says the Tigers have been observing him as well. However, the Tigers have fallen to 7.5 games out in the AL Central (they might shave that to 6.5 today if the bullpen can hold a four-run lead).

Taschner, 30, has struggled this month after a solid stretch in May and June. Control has always been an issue. Taschner is under team control for quite a while.
