Lyon, Rodney reject arbitration

08.12.2009 1 comment

The Tigers bullpen has a few vacancies for the time being with both Brandon Lyon and Fernando Rodney turning down their arbitration offers. Both are looking for multi-year deals and both will likely get them and I’d guess one of them comes back to Detroit.

Fortunately life will be out of the way this coming week so my winter meetings coverage should be pretty robust and very timely.
