November 17, 2004 Multiple sources out of Detroit are reporting that the Tigers signed Troy Percival to a two-year, $12 million contract on Wednesday. The Tigers overpaid for Percival, whose health has been an issue the past couple of seasons, but improving the bullpen was clearly the club's biggest need. With Ugueth Urbina already signed for 2005, the Tigers will have a clouded closer picture barring any trades before spring training. |

November 15, 2004 Free agent Troy Percival is expected to meet with the Tigers this week, according to the Detroit Free Press.

"He's left with no choice but to see what else is out there." |

August 21, 2004 Angels manager Mike Scioscia said he didn't call on Troy Percival Wednesday or Thursday simply to keep his closer healthy and fresh, according to the LA Times.

The Angels don't plan to use him on three straight days or four out of five days. |
