Tigers sign Robertson for three years
Nate Robertson isn't on the outside looking in anymore. By signing a three-year contract Wednesday, the left-hander joined the long-term nucleus of the Tigers' starting rotation.
That means that three of the Tigers' five starters for 2008 -- Robertson, Jeremy Bonderman and Dontrelle Willis -- are signed through 2010. Justin Verlander is as good as signed for that long because he can't be a free-agent until after the 2011 season.
Roberston's contract is worth $21.25 million, topping out at a possible $11 million in 2010.
