Royalstigers_dc65
Marcus Thames and Matt Treanor became free agents today, according to MLB.com's Jason Beck (via Twitter).  Both former Tigers were non-tender candidates anyway, but apparently they've been outrighted or released. Thames, 33 in March, hit .252/.323/.453 in 294 plate appearances while playing 125 innings in left field and spending the rest of his time at DH.  Thames has played a little first base and right field in his career as well. Treanor, 34 in March, had only 14 plate appearances this year due to a hip injury.  He caught 524 innings for the Marlins back in '08, earning him a $750K contract with the Tigers in December.
