The Detroit Tigers Sign Catcher Wilson Ramos

Our own Jacob Boes speculated about the Tigers potentially targeting Wilson Ramos way back in May, though for the last few weeks we’ve been wondering if the team was really content to head into spring training with Dustin Garneau as their only veteran catching option.

Who is Wilson Ramos?

Wilson Ramos was originally signed by the Minnesota Twins as an amateur free agent out of Venezuela in 2004, about one month before his 17th birthday.
