Tigers bringing former White Sox lefty Hector Santiago to big-league camp

Detroit — What’s the old Who lyric? Don’t get fooled again.

A spate of early injuries quickly depleted the Tigers veteran pitching depth last season and general manager Al Avila is doing his darnedest not to let that happen again.

To the end, he signed 32-year-old former White Sox lefty Hector Santiago to a minor-league contract Wednesday, with an invitation to spring training next month.

Santiago, entering his 10th season, started 2019 with the Mets and finished with the White Sox — his third stint on the south side of Chicago.
