Tigers agree to a one-year deal with reliever Emilio Pagán, according to ESPN.
Jon Heyman reported the deal at $11.5 million, while MLB.com said $11 million, so the value is not settled. Pagán, 35, declined a $10 million player option with Cincinnati to sign in Detroit, according to an SB Nation analysis. That analysis flagged Pagán's home run rate as a concern for the Tigers.
