The Tigers claimed Chad Qualls on revocable waivers
Yesterday Chad Qualls was claimed off revocable waivers by an unidentified
team. Today the team has been identified: the Detroit Tigers.
Qualls has posted a 3.07 ERA and 38/5 K/BB ratio over 44 innings while going
14-for-17 in save opportunities. He’s under contract for $3 million next
season and there’s a $3.5 million club option. It’s doubtful, however, that
the Astros would simply let him go on waivers, and they are on record saying
that it would take a nice haul in return for them to let him go.
The Tigers, of course, have perpetual bullpen problems and have decided that
throwing anyone who has ever sniffed the eighth or ninth inning at the
problem is the best way to solve it. It may be the only way for them solve
it, actually, although it’s unclear whether they have anything Houston wants
in return.
The teams have until sometime tomorrow to complete a trade. Though the Astros
could, of course, pull Qualls off waivers at any time.

会达成交易吗? Qualls会是老虎火牛阵的解药吗??
