The Detroit Tigers added some competition to the pitching staff last week by signing a former SF Giants southpaw.
Derek Holland agreed to a minor-league pact with the Tigers, hat tip to Jon Morosi of MLB Network for confirming the deal for the former SF Giants starter. The deal includes an invite to Spring Training.
The left-handed hurler received a minor-league contract in 2018 from the SF Giants that turned out to be a good value move for the club.
