The first free-agent domino has reportedly fallen.
According to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, the Tigers have struck a five-year deal with pitcher Jordan Zimmermann. The contract is reportedly worth $110 million.

Zimmermann had been linked to a handful of teams this offseason, including the Cubs, but ended up signing quickly with the Tigers. The 29-year old went 13-10 last year with a 3.66 ERA and 1.20 WHIP.
Detroit now has another right-hander to pair with Justin Verlander and Anibal Sanchez to head the rotation. Young southpaw Daniel Norris is also expected to crack the rotation after being acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays in the David Price trade at the deadline.
The Tigers (74-87) finished last in the AL Central in 2015.
