According to FOXSports.com, the Tigers are open to listening to offers this winter for catcher Gerald Laird.
The Tigers are faced with a payroll that doesn't match their revenue base and are looking to dump some salary. Laird hit .225/.306/.320 in 413 at-bats last season while earning $2.8 million. He's expected to land closer to $4 million for the upcoming season through salary arbitration.

Gerald Laird was ejected from Thursday's game against the Twins in the ninth inning.
It was unclear exactly what Laird did. He was the catcher when Jeremy Bonderman intentionally drilled Delmon Young to begin the top of the ninth. That was a response to Jose Mijares throwing behind Adam Everett the previous inning. The festivities all started when Marcus Thames was hit by a pitch in the fourth and then did a wild and very dangerous slide into second base on a potential double-play ball.
 Justin Verlander-S - Tigers Aug. 25 - 1:54 am et  

Justin Verlander picked up his 14th win despite allowing four runs in 5 2/3 innings Monday against the Angels.
Verlander pitched five scoreless innings before the Angels got to him in the sixth and knocked him out of the game. It was 10-0 entering the bottom of the inning, but the Tigers ended up holding on to win 10-7. Verlander must not have liked Gerald Laird's signals during the latter stages of the outing because the two had a spat in the dugout afterwards. Maybe we'll see Alex Avila catch Verlander next time out.

Gerald Laird left Saturday's game in the first inning with lower back spasms.
His availability is being called "day-to-day." Dusty Ryan replaced him behind the plate and will probably be asked to start on Sunday.

 Dusty Ryan-C - Tigers Jun. 19 - 2:57 pm et  

Tigers recalled C Dusty Ryan from Triple-A Toledo.
For now, this is just about depth. But the Tigers are run-starved, and current starter Gerald Laird is hitting just .215/.315/.308. Ryan is hitting .259/.374/.442 at Triple-A, and could see the bulk of the playing time if he starts hitting for Detroit.

Gerald Laird went 3-for-4 with an RBI in a losing effort against the Rockies on Saturday evening.
Laird had a double and two singles. The two-bagger was his fifth of the year. He's now batting .245 with one home run and 11 RBI in 110 at-bats.
