Tigers May Shop Robertson

Found April 06, 2009 on Eli's MLB Rumors:
PLAYERS: Nate Robertson,  Rick Porcello,  Jeremy Bonderman,  Dontrelle Willis,  Carlos Guillen,  Magglio Ordonez

Booth Newspapers is reporting that Tigers pitcher Nate Robertson feels his days as a Tiger are numbered. "The cycle of a player's time in an organization comes and goes, and maybe my time is nearing its end," he said. Robertson is extremely disappointed by his demotion to the bullpen, but he was out pitched by Rick Porcello and Armando Gallaraga, who took the fourth and fifth spots, respectively. 
Robertson would be a great fit for the Padres, but has 17 million dollars remaining on his contract. The Tigers are having serious financial woes and may be forced to dump some of their players with big contracts. You can expect to see Jeremy Bonderman, Dontrelle Willis, Nate Robertson, Carlos Guillen, and Magglio Ordonez on the block if the Tigers do not get off to a good stop.

Detroit Detours for Two Tigers

Via Legend of Cecilio Guante  |  August 12, 2008
He has been named an All-Star nine times and sits perched ten home runs away from 500. One could easily argue he is one of the most intimidating hitters of his era. His swing is undoubtedly one of the game's most violent (if nothing else). Despite losing a metaphorical step, he still smacked 25 dingers and drove in 75 runs last year (he even swiped 22 bases). Prior to opening day...

Johan Makes Fish Look Foolish In Dominant Opener

Five months later, Florida's dynamic duo is gone, and the Marlins' $17 million payroll falls $2 million shy of the $19 million the Mets will pay Santana to be their ace this season.
