    Cards "weren't going anywhere near" that price. Good to know. Why to go Tigers!

    Frankly, I am a bit surprised the Cards still had money after the Holliday deal. But the Tigers got the biggest bullpen arm available, well done!

    2-years/$14MM from the report I read: Source: Detroit Tigers, closer Jose Valverde agree on 2-year deal - MLB News - FOX Sports on MSN

    Yep you're right man. That is nowhere near what I expected. Pretty nice signing altogether. Good to see they figured out the closer hole, especially with Rodney gone to the Angels now.

    They were probably in need of another bullpen arm, especially after losing Rodney, so they got the best one available.
