Tigers will continue to pay as Easley lands job
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ESPN.com news services Damion Easley has found a new home. Easley, released Friday by the Detroit Tigers, signed a contract with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Wednesday. The Devil Rays demoted second baseman Brent Abernathy to Triple-A Durham to make room for Easley. Easley became the most expensive player cut loose in baseball history when the Detroit Tigers released him Friday with $14.7 million still owed on his contract. The 33-year-old infielder is in the fourth season of a $28.6 million, five-year contract. The Tigers must pay him $6.5 million this year, $6.5 million in 2004 and a $1.3 million buyout of an $8 million team option for 2005. Easley will not be in the lineup Wednesday night when the Devil Rays host the Red Sox.

They probably couldn't find anyone to take his salary and needed the spot on the roster for some kid who they didn't want to expose to waivers.
