Gary Sheffield to the Tigers
Just heard that Sheffield was traded to the Detroit Tigers for 3 pitching prospects. Sheffield now has a 2-year deal with Detroit.
NYY get Humberto Sanchez, Kevin Whelan and Anthony Claggett. From the AP: The 23-year-old Sanchez was a combined 10-6 with a 2.53 ERA and 129 strikeouts in 123 innings with Triple-A Toledo and Double-A Erie this year. Whelan, 22, was 4-1 with a 2.67 ERA and 27 saves for Class A Lakeland. Claggett, 22, was 7-2 with an 0.91 ERA and 14 saves for Class A West Michigan.
Looks like the Yankees got the better end of that deal. They get 3 men of the ages 23, 22, and 22, and the Tigers get Sheffield, who will be 38 in 8 days.
Also, if the rumors are to be believed, the Red Sox may have posted the highest bid for Matsuzaka, which is great. We need a starting pitcher and everyone says he is one of the best.
