Who wouldn't want to have a pitcher who threw a 28 out perfect game on their
roster? It looks like a team will have that opportunity. According to the
Detroit Tigers' GM, Dave Dombrowski, the trade talks are progressing for
Armando Galarraga. “I'd say [deal] is likely,” Dombrowski said, according to
MLB.com's Jason Beck
Galarraga, 28, agreed to a $2.3 million contract on January 17 to avoid the
arbitration process with the Tigers. However, he was designated for assignment
the next day.
The pitcher shot to worldwide fame for his sportsmanship that he displayed after
an umpire's error cost him a perfect game last season. He finished the year at
4-9 with a 4.49 ERA. He is eligible for salary arbitration for the first time
in his career as a Super Two player. The right-hander will continue to be under
team control through the 2013 season
