RHP Francisco Rodriguez, Detroit Tigers (released)
Rodriguez, MLB’s active leader in saves with 437, started the year as the Tigers’ closer but pitched so poorly — blowing four of his 11 save chances — that he was relegated to mop-up duty. Last week, Rodriguez publicly blasted Tigers management and coaches for their lack of communication.
With those bridges fully burned, Rodriguez has now lost his roster spot entirely. The Tigers released the 35-year-old right-hander Friday. He had a 7.82 ERA in 28 games.
