Tigers Not Interested In Troy Glaus

We heard from FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal yesterday that the Cardinals are now trying to move Troy Glaus because he's unable to throw more than 90 feet.

Rosenthal listed the Giants, Braves, Rangers and Tigers as possible trade partners, but we can now cross Detroit off that list. As Chris Iott of MLive.com notes, Tigers manager Jim Leyland said the club has no interest in Glaus: "Believe me, with all due respect to Troy Glaus, his name has never been...   Continue Reading
