Tigers Trade Pudge For Farnsworth


by Dan Cash

The Detroit Tigers have agreed to trade Pudge Rodriguez to the New York Yankees in exchange for former Tiger Kyle Farnsworth. Farnsworth has posted a 3.65 ERA with a 1-2 record so far this season.

He is a fireballer who was once offered a big payday to become the Tigers closer in 2005. The deal fell through and Farnsworth signed with the New York Yankees.

Farnsworth coming to Detroit will either bolster the bullpen, or allow Joel Zumaya to slip into the starting rotation.
