"Wilquetoaste"

The Tigers announced that they released left-hander Adam Wilk after selling his contract to a team in the Korean Baseball League. The team also announced that left-hander Matt Hoffman has been outrighted to Triple A.

Thought that Wilk was making progress in AAA last season, and the Freep very recently ran an article on him regarding Adam's curveball having been "straightened out"?

This is a surprise, they must be making roster room for something.

I never understood trading a player to another country. So, does Wilk have to play in Korea?

If he wants to get paid....yes.

I don't think you can trade with teams in other leagues, but you can obviously sell players to them.

I was surprised to read this today too. I'm wondering if we're just clearing roster space for a trade or what.

From what I understand, I think KC posted about it in Detroit Tigers thread is that its to clear room on the 40 for Sanchez.
