Yanks Gary Sheffield Traded To Detroit Tigers November 10, 2006 The Associated Press reported Friday that Yankee Gary Sheffield was traded to the Detroit Tigers for three pitching prospects. In the trade the Yankees get right-handers Humberto Sanchez, Kevin Whelan, and Anthony Claggett. Sheffield, who turns 38 on November 18, said Wednesday that the Yankees had asked him to provide a list of teams he would not mind being traded to, after they exercised Sheffield's $13 million option last weekend to prevent him from becoming a free agent. Outfielder Sheffield missed most of the 2006 season with a wrist injury from an April collision with Toronto's Shea Hillenbrand, and when he returned had a brief stint at first-base.
