Detroit Tigers Sign Free Agent Pitcher Jos? Ure?a.

Ure?a, 29, is coming off a pair of rough seasons and twice has led the National League in hit batsmen (thus the rejoicing among N.L. hitters). But for two seasons, on some mediocre Marlins ballclubs, Ure?awas a top-of-the-rotation workhorse
In 2017, he went 14-7 with a 3.82 ERA in 169.2 innings. In 2018, he was 9-12 with a 3.98 ERA in 174 innings. He was the Marlins opening day starter in 2019, but he lost more than two months with a back strain. When he returned, the Marlins used him as their closer and he recorded three saves.
He was back in the starting rotation last season but was limited to five starts by a fractured bone in his forearm.

THE SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

The Saturday Survey offers readers the opportunity to weigh in on a relevant topic. So here is a poll to gauge the pulse of our passionate readers.
Today, we center the discussion on the Tigers? signings over the last week.
As always, we welcome your comments, so please vote and then submit your reasons (4 sentences max!) for how you voted in the usual comment box. Don?t forget to come back later and view the results!

The Tigers signed a few players this week. Jose Urena will join the team as a starting pitcher. He?s had 2 bad years in a row but decent runs in 2017 and 2018.

Dustin Garneau was signed to a minor league contract but will compete for the starting catching job along with Jake Rogers and Grayson Greiner. Garneau has been a backup catcher and a lifetime .202 hitter.

What do you think about these 2 signings?
1. Feeling good.

2. Nothing but a depth move.

3. Typical Tigers move.

4. Disappointed.

5. Feel depressed.

Question of the Week.
Totally Tigers

This past week, the Detroit Tigers signed a journey man pitcher in Jose Urena (as a starter) and back-up catcher Dustin Ganeau. The latter signed to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training to compete for the #1 catcher position.
What do you believe is the strategy for these moves? Depth? Trade chips? Fill-ins until the prospects are ready? Or something else?
Please share your thoughts. For today only, please keep them to 8 sentences or less.

Locked On Detroit Tigers Podcast: Heeeey Mac-Urena. 17 minutes.

The news of the Blake Snell trade wasn't reported until after this episode with finished. It will be discussed in full on Wednesday's show, but we're back for the first of two shows this week.

Today we're talking about-The Tigers signing of Jose Urena.

The Nationals acquisition of Josh Bell.
 
So after signing Jose Urena, who has bonuses on number of starts (so I assume he will start) what's the rotation look like?
