Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Alex Wilson and the team have reportedly come to terms on a contract, avoiding arbitration in the process.
This is according to a tweet from FanRag Sports’ Jon Heyman, who tweeted the news on Friday morning. The insider tweeted, “Alex Wilson, tigers settle at $1.175.”
As is quickly becoming the norm, Wilson turned in yet another excellent season in Detroit’s bullpen.
After logging a 2.19 ERA in 70 innings during the 2015 campaign, the right-hander increased his workload last year. During the 2016 season, Wilson tossed 73 frames.
