Tigers Want Zumaya And Galarraga Back, Not Miner

The Detroit Tigers want to keep pitchers Joel Zumaya and Armando Galarraga but have chosen to let Zach Miner become a free agent.

The Tigers announced Thursday they didn't offer Miner a contract, three days after they designated the right-hander for assignment.

Detroit has offered deals to Zumaya and Galarraga, who were both eligible for salary arbitration.

Miner didn't play last season and had surgery on his right elbow in May. He was 25-20 with a 4.24 ERA in 157 appearances, including 35 starts, over four seasons with the Tigers.
