The Tigers reached an agreement with reliever Octavio Dotel on a one-year deal with an option, tweets Jon Heyman of MLB Network. Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi first reported the near-agreement last night.
Danny Knobler reports that the signing is expected to be worth $3 million and have an option for a 2nd year.
Dotel had a nice 2010 season with the Toronto Blue Jays and St. Louis Cardinals where he had a 3.50 ERA and had 10.3 K/9
Dotel is more of a right handed specialist and that is something that the Tigers needed, and at a 1 year contract, this should only help the Tigers in 2012 as they attempt to win the Central Division.
