DETROIT (AP) - The Detroit Tigers released veteran third baseman Dean Palmer from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.
Palmer, who hasn't played since 2003 and hasn't been a regular since 2000 due to shoulder problems, requested the release when he didn't make the major league roster on opening day. He is hoping to continue his comeback with another major league team.
The 35-year-old has 275 homers in a 14-year career with Texas, Kansas City and the Tigers. He drove in over 100 runs in his first two years in Detroit, 1999 and 2000, but managed just 87 games in the next three seasons before retiring. He announced a comeback this winter and was a non-roster invitee to Detroit's training camp.
