Veteran lefty Derek Holland tweets he has minor-league deal with Tigers

Detroit — Veteran left-hander Derek Holland has apparently agreed to a minor-league deal with the Tigers. At least that’s what he posted on his Twitter feed Saturday night.

The Tigers did not immediately confirm the deal.

Holland, 34, has pitched for five teams in his 12-year career. He had his most successful seasons in Texas where he went 62-50 with a 4.35 ERA from 2009 through 2016.

It’s been tough sledding for him since then. Pitching for the White Sox, Giants, Cubs and Pirates, he’s had ERAs over 6.0 in three of the last four.
