The Tigers have done the impossible and signed a closer! Well, sort off. Today, the Tigers brought back Jose Valverde on a minor league contract.
He'll pitch in the minors to see where he is at, presumably at Toledo. If he is not back in the majors by May 5, the contract allows him to opt out and become a free agent again.
What this means?
If the closer by committee becomes a regular problem, Valverde will be called upon to close for the Tigers once again. He is a three time all star and a proven closer. He had a terrible postseason last year, but I believe he can regain prime form.
