Al Avila continues a rather busy past few weeks. The Tigers GM went ahead and signed the veteran the Tigers need for the back of the rotation by signing RHP Iván Nova to a one year deal. Jon Heyman first reported the deal on Twitter. Nova in a press release by the Detroit Tigers was very excited to join the club.
“I’ve had the opportunity to play for some historic organizations during my professional career, and joining the Tigers adds to that list in a big way,” said Nova. “This is a very exciting day for me, and I’m looking forward to meeting my teammates and coaches and working with them to bring winning baseball to the great fans here in Detroit.
