Goodbye Rollercoaster
It’s a shame that Todd Jones tenure in Detroit had to end with one of his worst seasons. It’s also a shame to see a guy who was proud to be a Tiger, and a class guy all around get traded, but the team needs to move forward. Jonesy, had this to say, “”Early in the year, I felt like I had let the whole city down, but now I know that isn’t true. Matty was ready to be the closer, and maybe I can come back next year in a setup role. I just wish I could have brought the Tigers a little more in the deal.”
In return the Tigers get Mark Redman, a southpaw starter who has been hampered this year by a tricep injury.
Kevin Tolar was called up from Toledo to take Jones roster spot until Redman completes his rehab assignment.
