INDIANAPOLIS -- No team has been more aggressive in its pursuit of Curtis Granderson than the Yankees. But they backed out of a three-way deal involving Detroit and Arizona when the demands expanded to include four players.
According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, the Tigers asked for center fielder Austin Jackson and three pitchers -- Phil Coke, Ian Kennedy and lefty Mike Dunn, who struck out 99 in 73 1-3 innings between Double-A and Triple-A.
The Cubs, Mariners and Angels also have had recent discussions with the Tigers about Granderson. Talks between the Tigers and the Cubs stalled over Detroit's interest in 19-year-old Starlin Castro.
