Detroit Tigers Team Notes

January 7 in Tigers and mlb history :

1915 - The Detroit Tigers waive Wally Pipp to the New York Yankees. Pipp hit .161 in 12 games, but he'll anchor first base in New York for a decade until Lou Gehrig's appearance.

1933: Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis announces that he is cutting his salary by 40 percent. Landis's action is a sign of the times during the Great Depression; most players will have their salaries reduced for the coming season.

1993 - The Detroit Tigers sign first baseman Cecil Fielder to a five-year, $36 million contract, temporarily making him the highest-paid player in the majors.

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

The Tigers plan to go into the season with Ryan Raburn and Ramon Santiago as their second base platoon, according to MLB.com's Jason Beck.
Raburn is entering the second half of a two-year contract signed last winter and will be used primarily at second base with Santiago this season. His share of the playing time remains in question. The Tigers agreed to a minor league contract with journeyman Eric Patterson earlier this week and could view him as insurance if they decide not to make any upgrades through free agency.

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

January 8 in Tigers and mlb history :

1987 - Ten free agents (Doyle Alexander, Bob Boone, Andre Dawson, Rich Gedman, Ron Guidry, Toby Harrah, Bob Horner, Lance Parrish, Tim Raines, and Gary Roenicke) fail to meet a midnight deadline and thus will not be allowed to re-sign with their former clubs until May 1 if they are not offered contracts by new teams. The general lack of interest in the players will become the focus of the Players Association's first anti-collusion suit against the owners.
