According to Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports, he tweets, “Three people have told me today that the #Tigers are shopping Nate Robertson. Would have to eat money in order to move him. #MLB” Morosi later adds, “And if the #Tigers are willing to trade Robertson, you wonder if they are convinced that Dontrelle Willis belongs in the majors”

The PRO Rumors contract database shows that Robertson is due $10 million in 2010 – the final year of his three year deal. It’s a pretty high price tag for teams that are trying to fill out their roster. However, for teams like the Cubs, Mets, Rays and Twins, who are in desperate need of relief pitching, it may be worth the gamble

In 28 games (6 starts) in 2009, Robertson was 2-3 with a 5.44 ERA. You can see Robertson’s contract details and statistics here.
