Last year the Tigers didn’t feel that Gary Sheffield could help the Tigers and they wanted to get younger. So they dumped Sheff and his 14M dollar contract. The mets signed him for a song and a dance last year has he hit his 500 home run with the Mets but for the most part was 1 step away from a nagging injury.The other day the Tigers parted ways with Lefty Dontrelle Willis and his 12M contract and shipped him off to the Diamond Back and will pay most of whats left of his 12M salary in a deal that netted the Tigers a live body. The D Backs will be on the hook for the pro rated part of the 400K minimum salary.So over the last year the Tigers have dumped 26M in salary on 2 mistakes and moved on. Hey Omar you see this? Do you think you have a player that can fit this bill? Hmmm huh?Ok so the Mets owe Mr Genius Ollie Perez close to 20M of what is left of his 3 year 36M salary that he basically robbed from the Mets. Of course Ollie in infinite wisdom thinks that he cant help himself down...
