Tigers' Juan C. Perez: Lands NRI deal with Tigers

Perez signed a minor league contract with the Tigers that includes an invitation to spring training, Emily Waldon of 2080 Baseball reports.

Perez batted .276 to go with 27 doubles and 16 stolen bases with the Cubs' Triple-A affiliate, although he also has 246 major league at-bats to his name. His success during his time in the big leagues was quite limited, though, so the 30-year-old will likely act as organizational depth going forward.
