The Phils have been on the hunt for a right-handed-hitting corner
The Phils have been on the hunt for a right-handed-hitting corner outfielder, and Sheffield, who has 499 lifetime homers, fits the bill. The Tigers owe Sheffield his guaranteed $14 million salary for this year, so any team that signed Sheffield would only have to pay him $400,000.

News: Gary Sheffield's next home run will be his 500th in the major leagues. The question is: What uniform will he be wearing when he hits it? The Detroit Tigers released the nine-time All-Star on Tuesday, leaving him without a team as he closes in on becoming the 25th player to reach the milestone. The World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies, however, quickly called the slugger to see if there was a fit. Sheffield left Tigers camp as the rest of his former teammates were reporting for an afternoon game against the Washington Nationals. "I wouldn't say I'm shocked, but I am surprised," Sheffield toldThe Oakland Press of Pontiac. "To do this when somebody is one home run away ... I don't know how to react to it." Philadelphia general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said the team talked to Sheffield and his agent. Raul Ibanez, Shane Victorino and Jayson Werth start in the outfield, and the Phillies aren't sure whether Sheffield would agree to be a backup. "We do not have a gauge," Amaro said. "We had a private conversation and we'll keep it private." [...]

Our View: Sheffield would not start in the outfield with the Phillies, and would not be able to serve as a DH, meaning his fantasy value would be limited.

Updating an earlier report, Gary Sheffield prefers to play for his home-town Rays after being released by the Tigers, according to the Tampa Tribune.
Our View: The Rays currently do not have any room for Sheffield though, who is one homer away from 500. The club is set at DH with Pat Burrell and there are no open spots in the outfield.

News: The Tigers have released nine-time All-Star Gary Sheffield, who is one home run away from 500 for his career. Detroit parted ways with the DH on Tuesday after a disappointing stay with the Tigers. The team was hopeful Sheffield would be a powerful presence at the plate in the final season of the $28 million, two-year contract extension it gave him after acquiring him from the Yankees for prospects. But he failed to deliver in large part because he often was injured. The move comes a day after the Tigers acquired outfielder Josh Anderson from Atlanta, forcing the team to make some tough decisions about its roster a week ahead of opening the season in Toronto. Sheffield hit .178 in 18 games this spring. [...]

Gary Sheffield has been released by the Tigers, according to the Detroit News.
Our View: Sheffield was enjoying his spring camp without any pain in his shoulders, and it is uncertain why skipper Jim Leyland let him go. He will have to hit his 500th homer with another club. This could now move Marcus Thames into the DH role.
