BREAKING NEWS: Gary Sheffield traded to Tigers for Wrens Bassist Kevin Whelan



According to ESPN.com, the Yankees have shipped Sheffield to Detroit for pitching prospects Humberto Sanchez, Kevin Whelan and Anthony Claggett.

All familiar with the work of Wrens singer / bassist Kevin Whelan can attest that this is an absolute steal for the Yankees. To fill the void, the Tigers will try their luck on the free agent market, which includes bassist Jesse F. Keeler from Death From Above 1979 and vocalist Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney, though reports of the Tigers attempting to coax Jeff Mangum out of retirement appear to be false.
