According to Jason Beck the Detroit Tigers have traded Ryan Perry to the Washington Nationals for Collin Balester.
Ryan Perry was a 1st round pick by Detroit in 2008, but had not found the expected success in his pro career which included a 5.35 ERA in 36 games during the 2011 season.
Balester was a 4th round pick by the Expos (now Nationals) and like Perry, Balester has struggled to find success including a 2011 season where he had a 4.54 ERA in 23 games.
Balester is likely to compete for one of the last available bullpen spots as a long reliever for the Tigers, according to Jason Beck
