Tigers' Brendan Ryan: Signs minor league contract with Tigers

Ryan signed a minor league contract with the Tigers on Monday, Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports.

Ryan spent the majority of his 2016 campaign with the Angels at Triple-A Salt Lake, where he slashed a paltry .232/.295/.274 in 212 plate appearances. The 34-year-old will likely begin the 2017 season in Triple-A Toledo and serve as organizational infield depth for the Tigers.
