The Detroit Tigers have parted ways with their closer.
Left-hander Gregory Soto, who has served as the Tigers' closer for the past two seasons, has been traded to the Philadelphia Phillies, according to multiple reports. Utility player Kody Clemens is also being traded to the Phillies. A source confirmed Soto has been informed he is headed to Philadelphia.
The Tigers have not officially announced the trade, as the deal is pending medical reviews. The return, as first reported by MLB Network's Jon Morosi, features three position players: Nick Maton, Matt Vierling and Donny Sands.
