Two veterans outfielders were released today, Gary Sheffield by the Tigers, and Geoff Jenkins by the Phillies, both despite having millions of dollars left on their contracts. Sheffield departed a team without causing a scene for the first time in his career, while Jenkins- aside from a big hit in the clinching game of the World Series- was largely a flop in his one year in Philly.
So therefore... the Phils are supposedly considering signing Sheff themselves. Hmm.
