Tigers announce they're non-tendering Will Rhymes. He was not arbitration eligible.

Tigers announce they did not tender Will Rhymes, who now becomes a free agent.

Curious to see interest in will rhymes as free agent. Would help if he played more positions, but speedy 2B should get a shot in camp.

If you are a marginal MLB player, probably not best idea to trash manager on Twitter during playoffs when manager is only one in your corner.

I think he irked some people in important positions with his stupid tweets.

Probably. Those tweets pissed off Leyland.

What he'd say?

Remember the pinch runner switch for Santiago with Worth?

Player turning off his own game, lol.

I didn't particular like Ryhmes so I'm okay with it.

 

[tomdalton22]

He was probably pissed that he wasn't the one pinch running!

 

[kingofdetroit57]

I think I recall him popping off about getting sent down too.

I doubt he got cut for tweets, its probably because hes not good.

But he's not terrible either, not to the point we would not even offer him a small contract to play in Toledo just in case, considering what we're planning on going with at 2b this year.

It's a case of his bull-dog mouth outrunning his puppy-dog ass.

The Idiot may have tweeted himself out of a baseball career.

Logan Morrison got sent to the minors b/c of his tweets

Baseball career? Lol. He wasn't good enough to get playing time over our 2B junk.

If he was any good he could bitch slap a Marlboro outta Jimbo's mouth and still get a roster spot. Maybe get promoted. If you stink they'll find any reason to cut ya loose.

 

[stonecold2136]

Now he can go join his brillo pad haired buddy Jeff Larish working at the car wash for tips

And yet he was our opening day Second Baseman in 2011, and not the one that got traded away.

He's not good enough to be a regular MLB level 2b all year, but there was obviously more to the story.

 

[Mitchrapp]

If you say so.

 

[spockmaster]

DD probably has another small, "scrappy" white guy lined up to sign lol

 

[hellifino]

well at least we got rid of all the bad 2nd basemen (Sizemore,Guillen and now Ryhmes) hopefully we get a bonafide one to replace them and keep Santiago as a backup.

 

[byco42]

I'd rather have LeAnn Rimes at second base.
