Detroit — The truth is, he never wanted to leave and the Tigers never really wanted to lose him.
So, after he spent most of last year in Triple-A for the Brewers and Cubs organizations, versatile right-handed reliever Alex Wilson is back.
"This is a good fit for me no matter who else called," Wilson said in a phone interview with the News Saturday. "Because this is where I want to be."
Wilson, now 33, and the Tigers agreed on a minor-league deal which includes an invitation to big-league camp next month.
"The opportunity is unlimited, in my opinion," he said.
