February 24 in Tigers and mlb history:

1904: The Detroit Tigers purchased Ed Gremminger from the Boston Beaneaters.

1917: Smoky Joe Wood, his arm dead at 26, is sold by the Boston Red Sox to Cleveland for $15,000. He will become an outfielder after one last, losing start on the mound, and will play five more years.

1943: The Texas League announces it will suspend operations for the duration of the war. The St. Louis Cardinals, with 260 farm players in the service, will reduce farm clubs from 22 to 6. Only nine minor leagues will start the 1943 season. Advertisements for players appear in The Sporting News.

1980: Steve Kemp awarded $210,000 in arbitration.

1987: The Detroit Tigers signed Darrell Evans as a free agent.

1988: The Detroit Tigers traded Doug Baker to the Minnesota Twins for Julius McDougal (minors).

2000: The National Labor Relations Board certifies the results of the November election that kicked out the Major League Umpires Association and replaced it with the newly-formed World Umpires Association. About 50 of the 71 major league umpires have joined the new union. The decision ends Richie Phillips' 21-year reign as union chief.

2011: 1B Miguel Cabrera returns to the Tigers training camp, one week after his arrest on suspicion of drunken driving. He apologizes to teammates, team management, family and fans for the incident and has agreed to enter a treatment program. MLB officials warn him that "any future alcohol-related incidents could involve more serious consequences".

2015: The Detroit Tigers signed Ryan Perry as a free agent.
