The Angels aren’t interested in reliever Troy Percival, but several other clubs will be in attendance when he works out for teams in a week or two.
The Tigers are publicly showing interest, as Percival left the club on good terms despite barely pitching for them. He was voted a playoff share last year and used the money to buy a suite for the players’ wives. With Joel Zumaya out for quite a while, the Tigers could use another arm at the back of the bullpen. Contrary to previous reports of 97 mph (subtract five mph from anything an agent says) Percival is topping out around 92 these days.
The Phillies also want in; they remain desperate for relief help. They’ll attend his workout. The Indians gave a "no comment" on the Percival topic, but I can’t see why they wouldn’t send someone to observe the workout. I also can’t see why Rafael Betancourt isn’t closing, but that’s my fantasy side talking.
