If you played The Wolf Pro Football Challenge, you must have selected at least 14 games correctly to qualify to become our weekly winner.

MLB

Ronny Rodriguez is no longer a Detroit Tiger. Rodriguez was claimed off waivers by the Milwaukee Brewers yesterday. The Tigers also waived pitcher Marcos Diplan, whom they had claimed from the Minnesota Twins in mid-September. He was picked up by the Baltimore Orioles. The moves mean that Detroit now has three openings on its 40-man roster, which could be filled by free agents or picks from Thursday’s Rule Five draft.
