The Tigers and Angels have been in touch about Granderson's trade availability, according to Newsday, with the idea of making Granderson into a left fielder alongside Torii Hunter. The fit makes some sense for the Angels, who had a predominantly right-handed-hitting lineup, and possibly more sense than any other new home for Granderson, but it would up to the Tigers to decide whether it's ultimately a fit for them.

Neither Granderson nor his agent, Matt Brown, have talked with the Tigers about his situation. Nor do they expect to hear anything unless a trade scenario further develops, Brown said Friday.
