After showing interest in Ryan Madson and talking to other teams about Matt Lindstrom, what we've been waiting for has happened. Earlier today Matt Lindstrom was traded to the Tigers for mid level prospects Buck Farmer and Hernan Perez. The two prospects rank 12th and 6th respectively. After agreeing to the deal, they soon countered the loss of their closer by gaining Ryan Madson. The team signed him to a team friendly, two year, 4.54 million dollar deal. If Madson performs well, the club can decide to accept his option for a third year. Madson hasn't pitched since 2011, when he had a 4-2 record with a 2.37 ERA.
