 Fernando Rodney-R- TigersNov. 11 - 9:28 am et
The Phillies have shown "preliminary interest" in free agent closer Fernando Rodney, according to FOXSports.com.
Rodney, 32, converted 37 of 38 save chances with the Tigers last season despite a dismal 4.40 ERA and 1.47 WHIP. Detroit is in cost-cutting mode and probably won't be able to afford his demands while Philly is looking to bolster their shaky bullpen. Rodney shouldn't be treated as a closer this winter and may find it hard to hide his uglier stats behind his saves total.

Free agent reliever Fernando Rodney said Thursday that he's hoping to return to the Tigers next season.
"I want to come back to the Tigers," Rodney said. "Detroit is the first team I will talk to." Of course, that doesn't mean a deal will get done. He's seeking a three or four-year deal and Detroit already has a budget-stretching payroll. Rodney accumulated 37 saves this season despite a 4.40 ERA.

 Fernando Rodney-R - Tigers Oct. 14 - 9:05 am et

Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski said Tuesday that payroll limitations will prevent the club from retaining some of their free agents this winter.
Detroit closer Fernando Rodney, second baseman Placido Polanco, reliever Brandon Lyon and shortstop Adam Everett have the right to move on this winter and all of of them might do so. The Tigers had a $120 million payroll this season and suffered a "noticeable dip" in attendance, according to Dombrowski. Rodney, specifically, is coming off a career-high 37 saves and is likely to command a multi-year deal worth over $10 million a season.

 Fernando Rodney-R - Tigers Sep. 14 - 5:25 pm et

Tigers closer Fernando Rodney's suspension has been reduced from three games to two games.
The penalty was for throwing a ball into the Tropicana Field press box after he closed out a Tigers' win on September 4. Rodney will miss Monday's series finale against the Blue Jays and Tuesday's contest against the Royals. This really doesn't affect his fantasy value -- Rodney was already set to get Monday off after pitching in the first three games of the Toronto series. Brandon Lyon is the best bet to get a save opportunity if one presents itself over the next two days.

Tigers closer Fernando Rodney has been suspended three games for throwing a ball into the Tropicana Field press box on September 4.
Rodney, who has 32 saves on the year, claimed it was an act of celebration, but Major League Baseball clearly saw things differently. Brandon Lyon is likely to fill in as closer for the next few days.

 Ryan Perry-R - Tigers Jun. 12 - 2:47 pm et  

Tigers recalled RHP Ryan Perry from Triple-A Toledo.
Perry was victim of a roster crunch, not ineffectiveness, when he was sent down earlier this season. He is a solid middle relief arm for your fantasy team, and could close down the line if Brandon Lyon and Fernando Rodney are ineffective.
