LAKELAND, Fla. — The Detroit Tigers signed right-handed pitcher Chase Anderson and catcher Ryan Lavarnway to minor-league contracts.
Both players received invitations to MLB spring training.
"The organization is actively looking for guys," Tigers manager AJ Hinch said Monday. "At some point, we'll probably draw a line in the stand, that you can't make the start of the season unless you're here by a certain date. That date is not today, so I think you'll see a few names over the next couple days."
Anderson, 34, has pitched eight MLB seasons for the Arizona Diamondbacks (2014-15), Milwaukee Brewers (2016-19), Toronto Blue Jays (2020) and Philadelphia Phillies (2021).
