Tigers add reliever Miguel Diaz on minor league deal.
The former first overall pick in the Rule 5 never panned out for the Twins, but gives the Tigers bullpen some insurance.

The Tigers signed righty Miguel Diaz to a minor league deal, MLB Network?s Jon Heyman reports (via Twitter). Diaz will be invited to the club?s MLB Spring Training camp, and he?ll earn $800K if he makes Detroit?s big league roster. A Rule 5 Draft acquisition out of the Brewers? farm system in 2016, Diaz posted a 6.62 ERA over 66 2/3 innings with San Diego from 2017-19 before knee surgery put him on the shelf for much of the 2019 campaign. Returning to the Show in 2021, Diaz had a much more respectable 3.64 ERA over 42 relief innings for the Padres last season, but had trouble limiting home runs and walks. This led the Padres outright Diaz following the season, and he elected free agency.

Free agent hurlers Anibal Sanchez, Julio Teheran, and Erasmo Ramirez all threw during a showcase for scouts today in Miami. One unknown team was impressed enough by Sanchez?s performance that they made a contract offer to the veteran right-hander almost immediately after he left the mound.

The Nationals (as per Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post) and Tigers (as per MLB.com?s Jason Beck) were among the teams who had evaluators at the showcase, though it isn?t known if this was just due diligence or because of a specific interest in any of the three pitchers.

Sanchez is both a former National and a former Tiger, while both Teheran and Ramirez pitched for Detroit just last season.

More Hinch on Tork and Greene: "I think they?re tremendous prospects. They're gonna have an opportunity to showcase what they can do ... They?ve got sort of the 'it' factor when it comes to how they fit on a club, how they interact with people. They can handle this pressure."
 
The Tigers have agreed to terms with RHPs Miguel Diaz, Drew Hutchison and Ram?n Rosso on Minor League contracts. All 3 players will receive invites to Major League Spring Training.
 
Fun fact about the number 20. erie seawolves manager Gabe Alvarez wore the number 20 when he played for the Tigers in 1998.

Fidrych and Tettleton both All-Stars that wore the number 20.

The picture of Spencer Torkelson from earlier today was tweeted out earlier by Brad Galli.
