The Tigers are reportedly tracking Nationals' closer Chad Cordero this season as they look to shore up their bullpen, according to the Examiner (Hartford).

A source close to the Tigers claims that Detroit already spoke with Washington about Cordero's services this spring. Those talks are expected to pick up once the Nats begin struggling and if, or when, Detroit's bullpen starts to falter.
