The free agent sinkerballer could potentially provide a veteran option for manager Brad Ausmus.
The key element to the Detroit Tigers' success in 2016 was always going to be good health. So far its been a rocky start in spring camp. With Anibal Sanchez, Daniel Norris and Alex Wilson all ailing to one degree or another, general manager Al Avila is apparently still considering adding a veteran arm to bolster the pitching staff.
While the Tigers boast better support for their starting rotation than in years past, none of the trio of Shane Greene, Matt Boyd and Michael Fulmer has much experience at the major league level.
