According to ESPN.com, ‘a major league source’ is reporting that the Tigers have placed Gary Sheffield on waivers.

Teams have until Thursday afternoon to claim Sheffield, or if he clears waivers, he can be traded to any of the other 29 teams.

Sheffield, who is batting .219 with 10 HR and 33 RBI in 76 games, has one year remaining on his contract at $14 million.

…i know sheffield is not the middle relief help the Mets need right now but he is definitely the right-handed outfield bat we need in the lineup…if there is a time to pick up sheffield, it is when he has something to prove and i say take a shot…although the following year price tag worries me…
