The Detroit Tigers have signed reliever Joaquin Benoit to a three-year contract worth $16.5 million.

He was a setup man for closer Rafael Soriano, who also became a free agent this year. The Rays could need some major bullpen help.
Benoit will likely settle into a similar role in Detroit, setting up for closer Jose Valverde, who was signed last offseason. ( Read More…)

It’s a crippling blow to an offense that has struggled this season, with Ordonez one of the few consistently productive performers. He’s batting .304 with 12 home runs and 59 RBI on the year.
