The Tigers announced today that they have traded
Jason Grilli to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for
reliever Zachary Simons, a move designed to clear room on the roster for reliever Francisco Cruceta. Cruceta is expected to join the team in time for Thursday's game against the New York Yankees.
Believe it or not, the Detroit Tigers bullpen
could be taking shape. Not yet, and not as
soon as they would like, but there has been so much good news in just the last two days that the Tigers can dream of a day when the pen will actually become a strength. "We could end up having a heck of a bullpen," manager Jim Leyland said Thursday. "If it works out." Here's what has to work out: ...
The Tigers just keep lighting up the newswire.
This time they moved Chris Shelton to Texas for
a player who is pretty much the anti-Shelton, Freddy Guzman. The Tigers needed to find a match for Shelton after designating him for assignment when they signed Kenny Rogers and Francisco Cruceta. Apparently, Texas is that match.
Francisco Cruceta is coming to the Tigers, and
Jason Grilli is leaving. The Tigers traded Grilli to
the Rockies today, in order to make room for Cruceta to join them from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday. In return for Grilli, the Tigers received 22-year-old minor-league right-hander Zach Simons, who will report to Class A Lakeland. Grilli, a Tiger since 2005, was 0-1 with a 3.29 ERA in nine ...
The Detroit Tigers announced today that they've purchased
the contract of left-handed pitcher Casey Fossum from the
Toledo Mudhens. To make room on the roster the Tigers designated relief pitcher Francisco Cruceta for assignment. Fossum, a former top pitching prospect in the Red Sox organization has pitched very well for the Mudhens, racking up 48 strike outs over 46 innings, while limiting ...

We’ve taken a look at how the Tigers
may, or at least how we think (and by
we I mean I and the people who agree with me) they may fill out their bench. The bench is one of the few areas of ambiguity in terms of the roster. The other area is the bullpen. Unlike with the bench, there aren’t too many assumptions to clarify. The only tenet is that the pen will most likely have 7
BOSTON -- In what could be a significant
piece of news for the Tigers, Francisco Cruceta's visa
has been approved and he can now report to the Tigers. Cruceta can pick up his visa Thursday morning in Santo Domingo, and he'll then report to the Tigers' ...

OAKLAND -- Francisco Cruceta's nasty splitter earned him
a trip back to the Majors. His fate in
Detroit was sealed with an elevated fastball. Like other relievers before him, Cruceta's nasty stuff hinged on his ability to throw fastballs for quality ...
Somebody asked about the mysterious Francisco Cruceta. He's
still not here. His uniform is in his locker,
and his equipment is stacking up, but he's still stuck in the Dominican. Leyland said he has no idea when Cruceta is expected to arrive. It's a ...
Mystery reliever Francisco Cruceta has been assigned to
Toledo . The club has approximately two weeks to
decide whether to put Cruceta on the 25-man big-league roster or to try to get him through waivers so he can stay in the minors. It sure ...
There was a question about Francisco Cruceta in
tonight's Game Thread , and the story from Toledo
was exciting enough that it seemed to warrant a separate post. In his debut with the Toledo Mud Hens this evening, Cruceta pitched three ...
As a quick site note, my schedule this
week makes my recaps sketchy at best. They will
return. But for now, I’m just askin’ and answerin’. When the Tigers call up Francisco Cruceta, who is going to be sent to Toledo? The way I ...
Francisco Cruceta took Jason Grilli's job in the
Detroit Tigers bullpen. The next question is whose role
Cruceta takes. Cruceta, who was the mystery man when he missed all of spring training with visa problems, becomes very real when he joins the Tigers in time for tonight's game at New York. The Tigers announced the move before Wednesday's 6-2 win, when they made room for Cruceta on the ...
The Tigers have called up Casey Fossum from
Toledo. A corresponding roster move hasn’t been announced yet.
Fossum was signed as a minor league free agent this spring and has pitched very well for the Mud Hens. In his last 3 starts he has 31 ...
By now, no doubt, you have the news
