The Tigers modifed their deal with Fernando Rodney to a two year, $2.7 million deal. Rodney still has one of the best changeups in baseball but he needs that fastball working to make it work. At $1.3 million in today’s market, I call it a bargain though. I see Rodney doing what he did last year and providing the Tigers with a very good setup man.
