Detroit — The Tigers got their second baseman — and it's their old second baseman.
Jonathan Schoop is returning to the Tigers on a one-year, $4.5-million deal, according to a source familiar with the ballclub's decisions. The deal was first reported by The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, and it was expected to be made official Friday night.
Schoop, 29, will play for the same team for a second consecutive year for the first time since he was with his original team, the Baltimore Orioles. He was with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2018 and Minnesota Twins in 2019, before joining the Tigers in 2020 on a $6.
