The Tigers quietly signed veteran catcher Tomás Nido to a minor league contract in the 2024-2025 offseason, and it actually turned out to be a pretty solid move for the team.
He was called up for a spell for a little over a month at the beginning of the season, when backup catcher Jake Rogers went onto the IL with oblique tightness, and hit .343 with a .704 OPS in 11 games. He struck out a lot, but he was a singles machine.
He had to be DFA'd when Rogers was reinstated from the IL but ended up clearing waivers and returning to the organization.
