Tigers' Cole Waites: Joins Tigers

Waites signed a minor-league deal with the Tigers, which includes an invitation to spring training, on Thursday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Waites has spent his entire pro career in the Giants' organization, and he briefly reached the majors in both 2022 and 2023. He's likely to remain organizational depth with Detroit, but he will have the chance to earn a roster spot during spring training.
