The Detroit Tigers will receive either cash or a player to be named later from the Padres in exchange for minor league catcher Dusty Ryan. The backup catcher for the Tigers for portions of the 2009 season, and the starter in September of 2008 following the trade of Ivan Rodriguez, Ryan was removed from the Tigers' 40-man roster earlier in the month.

Ryan hit .257 with an OPS of .723 in 27 career games with Detroit. He had two home runs and 11 RBI. He had an .814 OPS and .257 average across 63 games in 2009 with the Triple-A Toledo Mudhens.
