Yahoo! News - AP: Ivan Rodriguez, Tigers Near Agreement
NEW YORK - Ivan Rodriguez and the Detroit Tigers (news) were on the verge of agreeing to a $40 million, four-year contract, The Associated Press learned Wednesday night.

The 10-time All-Star catcher was to be examined in Texas on Thursday by Dr. Andrew Dossett, two baseball sources told the AP on the condition of anonymity. Dossett is the spine consultant to the Rangers and has treated Rodriguez for many years.

Damn. Well Pudge, have fun. I wouldn't want to play for the Tigers no matter how much you paid me.
