Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

February 7 in Tigers and mlb history:

1916 - The Federal League's year-old suit charging antitrust violations by organized baseball is dismissed by mutual consent in U.S. District Court in Chicago by Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis. No appellate decision is written and it will not be until 1922 when the courts rule on antitrust, in another suit stemming from the Federal League.

1949 - New York Yankees superstar Joe DiMaggio signs a one-year contract worth $100,000, becoming the first player to earn a six-figure deal in major league history. In 1948, DiMaggio batted .320, while leading the American League in home runs and RBI.

1987 - For only the second time in major league history, a player is forced to take a pay cut due to salary arbitration, when Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Orel Hershiser signs for $800,000, which is a twenty percent reduction from his 1986 salary. Hershiser was 14-14 with a 3.85 ERA in 1986.

1994: Former National Basketball Association star Michael Jordan signs a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox. Jordan will report to spring training before being assigned to the Class-AA Birmingham Barons. After one season in the minors, Jordan will return to the NBA.

1994: The Detroit Tigers sign free agent pitcher Tim Belcher.

2005 - The Detroit Tigers sign All-Star right fielder Magglio Ord??ez for five years for a reported $75 million. The contract for the free agent slugger, recovering from knee surgery, includes options which could extend his stay in Detroit for an additional two years making the deal worth nearly $100 million.

Tigers shortstop Jhonny Peralta denies PED use after name reportedly found in clinic records.
from the detnews

Tigers Press Release statement on SI story regarding Jhonny Peralta: ?The Detroit Tigers fully support Major League Baseball?s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program."
However since this matter is currently part of an investigation by Major League Baseball, the Club is not at liberty to comment.?

Jhonny Peralta is named in the records of Biogenesis wellness clinic director Tony Bosch.
Peralta has released a statement through his attorney, stating that he has "never used performance enhancing drugs. Period. Anybody who says otherwise is lying." He is the 12th player overall and the fifth client of Seth and Sam Levinson's ACES agency to be connected to the clinic records, joining Nelson Cruz, Gio Gonzalez, Jesus Montero and Melky Cabrera. Peralta and Montero both do not appear to be directly tied to PEDs, though.

Tigers' Victor Martinez 'looks unbelievable' taking cuts in Lakeland.
from the detnews

"His hands are active, his legs are active, he's driving through the ball," said McClendon. "He hit all kinds of pitches ? up, in, out, down ? which really impressed me."

To Martinez, the last step took place with his first step on the bases the last three weeks. That's the time period during which he made it through a running progression that tested the knee.

"He felt great," said trainer Kevin Rand.

"I went through all the situations, first to third, tagging at third, scoring from second. I did it all," Martinez said.
