Ask, Tigers fans, and ye shall receive.  Either that, or this was just far too obvious a move not to make for the front office.  

Jose Mesa was released by the team after this afternoon's game.  From the AP:

Taking Mesa's spot on the roster will be Fernando Rodney, who will be activated from the 15-day disabled list for Tuesday's game in Texas.  According to Jason Beck, the Tigers will pay the remainder of Mesa's $2.5 million contract.  And for that salary, Detroit got a 12.54 ERA in 16 appearances.
