The Detroit Tigers and the West Michigan Whitecaps have agreed to a two-year extension of their player development contract. The deal runs through the 2022 season. The Midwest League club has been a Tigers affiliate since 1997.

The Tigers have acquired righty Christian Binford from the Orioles in exchange for cash considerations, per Evan Woodbery of MLive. Across 12 appearances this season (seven starts) with the O?s Double-A affiliate, Binford has pitched to a 4.95 ERA. While he?s walked just 1.28 batters per nine innings, he?s only managed to strike out a measly 5.59. However, his 4.35 xFIP suggests that he?s been slightly unlucky in terms of fly balls going for home runs. While Binford has remained at Double-A all season, he?s seen time at the minors? highest level in each of the past two years (while with the Royals organization). In fact, prior to this season, the 25-year-old had never known any other organization outside of Kansas City, who selected him in the 30th round of the 2011 draft.

The Tigers have made their second minor deal of the day, this time acquiring righty Eric Villanueva from the Mets in exchange for cash considerations, Woodbery tweets. Villanueva, 20, had been with the Mets since they chose him out of Puerto Rico in the 30th round of the 2016 draft. During his time with the Mets, Villaneuva worked at the Rookie level and struggled to a 5.14 ERA with unsightly strikeout and walk rates (5.1 K/9, 11.2 BB/9) across 40 1/3 innings.
