The Diamondbacks and Tigers have discussed a trade that would include shortstops Stephen Drew and Jhonny Peralta, according to two sources.
However, one source characterized the deal as "a long shot."
Arizona is unlikely to exercise their $10 million mutual option on Drew's contract for 2013.
The A's and Braves also have a need at shortstop, but a source said there has been no activity with those two teams.
