Lakeland, Fla. — It wasn’t the cover letter that got veteran lefty Hector Santiago a minor-league deal with the Tigers. But it certainly got their attention.
In the most hilarious way. Tigers assistant general manager David Chadd was still chuckling about it on Wednesday.
"I have to show you the letter he wrote," Chadd said. "Never seen anything like it. I told him I had to share it."
Santiago, 33 on April 4 and an All-Star back in 2015, has nine seasons and 257 big-league games under his belt.
