Bruce Levine of ESPN Chicago reports that the Tigers are not, and never were, interested in acquiring right-hander Carlos Marmol from the Cubs. Levine had originally reported two weeks earlier that the Tigers were taking a "hard look" at acquiring the Cubs' closer. But it doesn't sound like it's going to happen. Detroit's ninth-inning role is still up for grabs.
