Al Kaline joined Jim Price in the radio booth on Tuesday and, among other things, discussed his assessment of Bruce Rondon and the future of the flame-throwing reliever.
Rondon, Rondon, Rondon. We've been talking about him for years, ever since Dave Dombrowski let Jose Valverde walk in the 2012/2013 offseason and chose not to sign a "proven closer" for the team, thinking that Bruce Rondon (who had yet to pitch at the MLB level) was going to fill that role. The plan never materialized, and Valverde was hastily re-signed as the 2013 season neared its official opening.
