| The Tigers claimed Ibanez but were unable to work out a deal with the M's
SI.com has learned that the Tigers won the claim on Ibanez and the Twins won the claim on Washburn. However, neither team was able to work out a trade with Seattle within the allotted 48 hours after making the claim.
There were multiple claims on Ibanez, who is batting .292 with 19 home runs and is making only $5.5 million in the final year of his contract before he can become a free agent. The Mariners have been requesting multiple top prospects for Ibanez since they expect to receive two top draft choices if he leaves via free agency. While the Tigers are only on the cusp of the race, their signing of free-agent pitcher Freddy Garcia was an early indication they intend to try to contend. | |
