Tigers to designate LHP Willis on Sunday (AP)

[ASFN Admin]

The Tigers will designate starting pitcher Dontrelle Willis for assignment on Sunday, a move they expect to end his disastrous Detroit career. The move puts Willis onto waivers, but a team claiming him would need to pick up the remainder of his $12 million salary. If he goes unclaimed, the Tigers have 10 days to trade him, release him or option his contract to one of their minor league teams.
