DETROIT -- The Tigers have seen plenty of Zach McAllister over the years, more than any other opponent. Now, they're no longer opponents.
As McAllister looked for a landing spot to rebound after being released by the Indians, the Tigers -- who have been relatively quiet in pursuing veteran pitchers off the wire this season -- jumped at the chance to add the 30-year-old right-hander. They reached an agreement on a one-year deal that will put McAllister in the Tigers' bullpen for the rest of the year.
"Getting a feel for what they wanted to do and how they were going to use me, it's something I was really excited about, the opportunity that was here," McAllister said Friday afternoon.
