DETROIT(AP) -- The Detroit Tigers have removed outfielder Marcus
Thames and catcher Matt Treanor from the roster, clearing the
way for both players to become free agents.
Thames, a Tiger since 2004, hit .252 last season with 13 homers
and 36 RBIs in 87 games. Treanor played in four games before
undergoing surgery on his right hip April 30.
The Tigers also said Friday that infielder Michael Hollimon's
contract has been outrighted to Triple-A Toledo. The club
purchased the contract of right-handed pitcher Jay Sborz from
the Mud Hens and reinstated right-hander Joel Zumaya and
infielder Jeff Larish from the 60-day disabled list.
