Robertson's agent Steve Canter said this week that Robertson would like to sign a long-term contract with the team this winter. "He wants to stay in Detroit and play for the Tigers," Canter said in a telephone interview. "He appreciates everything they've done for him and his family." "He's a proven guy in big games. He finished strong this year. If you look at what he's done career-wise, it's pretty significant." Robertson, a 30-year-old left-hander, was offered salary arbitration last week. So, even if he does not sign a long-term deal, Robertson will receive a raise over the $3.26 million he earned last season when he went 9-13 with a 4.76 ERA in 30 starts. |
Nate Robertson could become a free agent after the 2009 season, but he wants to remain in the Tigers' starting rotation longer than that.
