LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) -Gary Sheffield is taking a new approach as he enters his 21st season in the majors: He wants to cut back on controversial remarks.
The Detroit Tigers designated hitter was true to his word Tuesday. He declined comment before the team’s first full-squad workout.
A year ago, Sheffield criticized his former agent, Scott Boras. The slugger said he would have more to say when a dispute between them was settled. An arbitrator decided in October that Sheffield owed Boras $550,000 for eliminating a 2004 option that allowed him to become a free agent.
Sheffield is one homer from reaching No. 500.
