MLB Trade Rumors
Tigers Won't Pursue Young Or Valverde http://bit.ly/RnuHII #mlb

I hope Valverde isn't offered a contract anywhere unless it's in the penal league.

He's gotta do something to get there first.

Somewhat surprised on the Young decision but that might be because Martinez is returning.

Really? I wasn't surprised a bit by this. Victor will be their full-time DH and they plenty of good young, lower-priced options to play the corners (Dirks, Berry, Garcia and even Boesch). Tigers will presumably take the $$ they save on Young and Valverde and try to re-sign Sanchez.

Good, Delmon Young kills us and we won't see Papa Douche again.

I think the decision was totally expected.
