It seems as if the Detroit Tigers have found the utility player the team has been searching for. General manager Al Avila recently was quoted in an MLB.com article as saying that the team wanted a player who could fill in at positions in the infield and outfield. “I think the perfect combination would be a guy that maybe can play a little infield, a little outfield, give us that combination, and that can provide some offense.”
As it turns out, that guy is Mike Aviles.
The #Tigers announced today that the club has agreed to terms with INF/OF Mike Aviles on a one-year contract.
