January 19, 2007
DETROIT (AP) -- Three days after reliever Fernando Rodney and the Detroit Tigers agreed to a one-year contract, they decided to make it a two-year deal.
The 29-year-old right-hander will get $2.7 million under the contract announced Friday.
Rodney agreed to lower this year's salary by $50,000 to $1 million and will get $1.7 million in 2008. He can earn up to $500,000 annually in performance bonuses.
Rodney was 7-4 with seven saves in 63 appearances last season with the AL champions.
The Tigers also reached deals earlier this week with outfielder Craig Monroe, left-hander Nate Robertson and infielder Omar Infante.
