NEW YORK - Gary Sheffield was traded from the New York Yankees to the Detroit Tigers on Friday for three pitching prospects. The Yankees exercised Sheffield's $13 million option last weekend to prevent him from becoming a free agent, and Sheffield said Wednesday the Yankees had asked him to provide a list of teams he wouldn't mind being traded to.

Interesting. I guess the Tigers aren't interested in falling off the planet again after this season. But that said, to say that Shef's getting old is an understatement.

Well, we know that the Yankees needed pitching in a bad way. Guess this was one way for them to address that need. I wonder if they'll go after Zito as well.
