Hours after Gary Sheffield was placed on trade waivers Tuesday, his attorney, Rufus Williams, told the Free Press that his client had not asked the Tigers to be traded. Yet, Williams also left open the possibility that Sheffield, who has a limited no-trade clause, would agree to a deal. "We'll have to see what it is," Williams said in a telephone interview. "I don't think you close any doors. I think you see what it is." The team's decision to place Sheffield on waivers was a procedural move that may or may not have a link to comments the slugger made recently about his role in Detroit.

This is Sheffiedl trying to cover his own butt-maybe the Tigers can get a few fungos for him or something. Good riddance, Gary, you did nothing for us.
