Former Royal Chad Durbin learned yesterday that the Detroit Tigers will not offer him a contract for 2008. Durbin was expected to received about $1.2 million through arbitration and the Tigers didn't want to pay that much for a guy who probably wouldn't end up in their rotation and may not even make their roster. He was 8-7 in 2007 with a 4.72 ERA. He started 19 games and saw relief work in 17 others. Don't expect to see his name surfacing on lists of free agents that the Royals are interested in though. He told the Detroit Free Press that he wants to go somewhere other than the AL Central. Of course, what he wants and what he gets my be two different things.
