Nate Robertson, the originator of the gum time phenomenon, has been traded to the Florida Marlins for a minor league pitcher, Jay Voss, and cash considerations. This means Jeremy Bonderman and Dontrelle Willis have locked up the final spots in the Tigers' rotation. There's some speculation on blogs and message boards that this also means Robertson didn't want to go to the bullpen, but who knows. The Tigers were able to get something out of Robertson and his ungodly contract, and that is a plus in my book.
