" I learned from multiple Detroit team sources tonight that the Tigers have strong interest in Gio Gonzalez and they probably would be willing to part with top prospect Jacob Turner, a right-handed starter, in any deal. Turner, 20, was the ninth pick in the 2009 draft.

To land Gonzalez, of course, it will take a package of significantly more: likely one more of the club's top three or four prospects and several other decent young players. (I can't repeat it enough: Think Dan Haren deal.)

The sources I spoke to tonight are unsure if the Tigers would be able to match any proposal the Yankees might make. The Yankees have long coveted Gonzalez, and the Detroit faction believes that New York might have a better package of young pitching to offer."
