Tigers' Collin Balester: Signs minor league deal with Tigers

Balester signed a minor league deal with the Tigers on Friday, Baseball America's Matt Eddy reports.

He pitched in Korea last season but was pitching out of a big league bullpen with the Reds as recently as 2015. His career stats in the majors (5.47 ERA, 1.50 WHIP in 200.2 innings) point to Balester serving as organizational bullpen depth.
