The Tigers let go of seven pitchers in the span of just a few days in mid-to-late-November, when everyone had to do their annual post-postseason roster cleanups. A few of those former Tigers pitchers have found new homes — Alex Lange went to the Royals and Jason Foley went to the Giants — but a few have come back to the organization.
Dugan Darnell and Tyler Mattison are still homeless for the time being, but Tanner Rainey, who signed a minor league deal with Detroit in July, was non-tendered on Nov. 18 and re-signed to a minor league deal just a few days later.
