The Detroit Tigers today announced that they have declined Shortstop Edgar Renteria’s $11 Million dollar option, instead they bought him out for $3 million dollars. Renteria hit .270/.317/.382 with a OPS+ of 84. He came to the Tigers last winter in a deal with the Atlanta Braves. The Tigers sent outfielder Gorkys Hernandez and pitcher Jair Jurrjens to the Braves in return. There is a possibility that the Tigers might resign Renteria at a lower value, but at this time it’s just speculation.
