Tigers' Omar Infante: Returns to Tigers on NRI deal

Infante has signed a minor league contract with the Tigers that includes an invite to spring training.

He will return to the organization with whom he's spent the majority of his career; the one that signed him as an amateur free agent in 1999. Infante began 2016 in a starting role with Kansas City, but hit just .239/.279/.321 and was eventually released. The soon-to-be 35-year-old is organizational filler at this point.
