Tigers call up infielder Casey McGehee from Toledo

Kansas City, Mo. — When he was pulled out of the game in Toledo last night, Casey McGehee was suspicious. Something had to be up. Either he was getting released or going to back to the show.

“I wasn’t sure what to make of it,” he said.

The news was good. The Tigers, who had sent right-handed pitcher Buck Farmer back to Toledo after the game Friday night, purchased McGehee’s contract and got him a plane ticket to Kansas City.

The emotions were still flowing when he spoke to the media before the game Saturday.
