You know all that talk about whether or not the Tigers should exercise Ivan Rodriguez's $13 million option? Well, it suddenly became moot, because the team announced today that they've done just that. From MLB.com:
"The Tigers are pleased to have Pudge back for the 2008 season," Tigers President, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager David Dombrowski said. "He has done a tremendous amount for our franchise in his four seasons in Detroit."
[...]
"Pudge remains a quality major league catcher and we expect him to be a key player for our club in 2008," Dombrowski added.
