Tigers Add Nick Sandlin on Minor-League Deal
The move gives Detroit a low-risk bullpen option in Triple-A.
Overview
- Detroit signed 29-year-old reliever Nick Sandlin to a minor-league contract with an assignment to Triple-A Toledo.
- He joined the market after the Angels waived him and he elected free agency.
- With Los Angeles this season, he gave up 11 runs in 8.2 innings across eight games.
- He posted a 2.20 ERA with Toronto in 2025, highlighting recent upside.
- Detroit seeks extra relief depth as the staff carries heavy workloads, and a rebound in Toledo could earn Sandlin a call-up with team control through 2027.
