No Takers For Sheffield as he clears waivers!

As expected, Tigers designated hitter Gary Sheffield cleared trade waivers this afternoon.

Now that the team has secured waivers on Sheffield, it can trade him at any point between now and the end of the regular season.

Sheffield is owed roughly $17.5 million between now and the end of the 2009 season, which limits his trade value.

Sheffield entered today’s game against Toronto with a .222 batting average, 12 home runs and 35 RBIs in 78 games, during a season in which he has suffered through the effects of off-season shoulder surgery.
