thanks for the bases loaded double vs Josh Hader, Andy! safe travels

[Edman85]

All six pitchers in DFA limbo from Tuesday also non-tendered, as predicted.

I'd expect Little, Duggan, and Mattison all back within the next week or so. Not so sure on Rainey and Guenther. Foley will probably want to test the market before settling for a minor league deal.

classic short arc career. Didn't make it until 28, If he manages to catch on for another year of platoon duty he could get to 500 games playes and be done at 33. That's not a bad career for guy that broke in that late.

Beck rarely makes mistakes, but it doesn't seem possible for a DFA to be followed by a tender.

well, I'm confused. We will need Ed to sort this out because from anything I've read, you can't tender a player you have DFA'd, so maybe one or the other of the reports are wrong.

Tigers sign Vierling, Brieske, Rogers; non-tender Ibáñez

Beck fixed it. "Tigers bullpen that has lost Jason Foley, Alex Lange and Sean Guenther in recent moves."

[Edman85]

You can tender a contract to a DFA, but then you would have to outright that tendered contract at the end of the DFA period after clearing waivers... and Foley can't be outrighted because of his injury.

[gehringer_2]

Beck posted a correction - Foley DFA'd is correct.

In any case, that's too bad. Would have liked to see him make it back.

Wonder if Harris will give Gonsolin a flier? Seems like his type of signing

[AlaskanTigersFan]

I'd like to give him AND Beuhler a shot. See what Fetter can do w/ them.
