The Eduardo Rodriguez situation grows curiouser and curiouser

You could be forgiven for forgetting that long-time Boston Red Sox’s left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez is even a member of the Detroit Tigers now. The 29-year-old signed a five-year, $77 million contract back in November prior to the lockout, threw eight poor starts in April and May, and left in the first inning of the final one on May 18. Moved to the injured list with an oblique strain, Rodriguez made one excellent rehab start on June 9, striking out nine in four scoreless innings for the Toledo Mud Hens, and poof, like that, he was gone.
