A 15-year veteran, Rodriguez has 437 saves over stints with the Angels, Mets, Orioles, Brewers and Tigers. He led the league in saves three times (2005, 2006, and 2008) and is a six-time All-Star.
Rodriguez had 44 saves and a 3.24 ERA for the Tigers in 2016.
But he lost the closer's job to left-hander Justin Wilson six weeks ago.
Frankie Rodriguez struggled mightily in 2017.
In 25.1 IP, the 35-year-old pitched to a 7.82 ERA, a 7.36 FIP and a 1.658 WHIP.
He walked 3.9 batters per 9 innings and had trouble keeping the ball in the yard, with 3.2 home runs per nine frames surrendered. In his last 15.2 innings, Rodriguez was tagged for 17 hits, 16 earned runs, nine walks and six home runs. He did strike out 12 over the same stretch, but the damage allowed was simply too much.
4 moves; K-Hit-Rod released, Rondon and Matt den Dekker up from Toledo, Alex Presley to 7 day DL concussion.

Francisco Rodriguez’s stay in Detroit needed to end, and it did.
He made a choice, now its time to face the consequences.
