Detroit Tigers add pitcher Carlos Sanabria, catcher Chris Rabago on minor-league contracts

The Detroit Tigers continue to add free agents leading up to the organization's mid-February minicamp in Lakeland, Florida.

The Tigers recently signed right-handed reliever Carlos Sanabria and catcher Chris Rabago to minor-league deals. Although MLB free agents can't sign contracts during the lockout, minor-league free agents can do so.

Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report Feb. 16 to the Tigers' spring training facility in Lakeland, so Sanabria and Rabago should arrive sometime around then. Minicamp is for players not on the 40-man roster.

Sanabria signed with the Houston Astros in 2014 as an international free agent from Venezuela.
