Tigers Sign Tyson Ross Monday
6 years agoThe Detroit Tigers signed free-agent starting pitcher Tyson Ross to a one-year, $5.75 million deal on Monday, according to a source. Ross had a successful year in 2018 after coming off thoracic outlet surgery the year prior, going 8-9 with a 4.15 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 7.3 K/9 in 31 outings (23 starts) between the Padres and Cardinals. He was more useful as a fantasy player in a starting role with the Padres (22 starts) in the first half of the year before being traded to St. Louis, where they mostly used him out of the bullpen. He was useful in the right matchups in a starting role for San Diego, and he should have a decent shot to be in the starting rotation for the rebuilding Tigers. He could be a late-round sleeper in deep mixed leagues next year.
