The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to search for a second baseman and have begun to search beyond a trade with the Minnesota Twins for Brian Dozier.

According to sources, L.A. is even searching beyond Ian Kinsler of the Detroit Tigers and Logan Forsythe of the Tampa Bay Rays. The Dodgers have spoken to the Texas Rangers about Jurickson Profar.

The Dodgers could also turn back to Chase Utley.

Justin Verlander says he's happy that rumors of a big Tigers selloff this offseason proved to be just that -- rumors.

In an interview with MLB Network Radio on Friday, Verlander says he's happy that Detroit has held on to its key players entering the 2017 season.

"It would have been upsetting to me if we started trading away everybody. I'm too old to be part of a rebuilding process. But they kept saying wholeheartedly that we're not doing a rebuild, we're trying to do smart baseball decisions, and if we can't make those decisions, we're not going to blow up the team. I believed them."

The Detroit Tigers have avoided arbitration with Andrew Romine by agreeing to a one-year, $1.3 million deal for 2017.

Romine played every position besides catcher last season for the Tigers. He hit .236/.304/.322 in 174 at-bats.
