Report: Tigers, pitcher Joel Hanrahan agree to one-year deal
The Detroit Tigers and relief pitcher Joel Hanrahan have agreed on a one-year, $1 million contract for the 2015 season, reports Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
The contract will also include up to $2.5 million in active and roster bonuses, according to Nightengale.
Hanrahan, 33, has not pitched in the majors since May 2013 because of an elbow injury. The Tigers signed him to a one-year deal last offseason and he earned $1 million despite not pitching in 2014.
