Among today’s minor league signing announcements by the Detroit Tigers: many familiar faces.
But one name was most notable: veteran second baseman Omar Infante.
Infante, who started his career with the Tigers in 2002, is one of 14 players the team signed to a minor league deal, according to the team.
Infante, who turns 35 on Dec. 26, hit .239 in 39 games with the Royals this past season before his release in late June. He finished the season at Triple-A Gwinnett with the Atlanta Braves.
He is one of six players to receive an invitation to major league spring training.
