Tigers' Shao-Ching Chiang: Gets minors deal from Detroit

Chiang signed a one-year, minor-league contract with the Tigers on Wednesday.

Chiang's deal includes an invitation to big-league spring training, though the Tigers are most likely viewing him as a candidate to slot into the rotation at Triple-A Toledo. The 26-year-old spent the entire 2019 campaign with the Indians' Triple-A affiliate in Columbus, submitting a 5.15 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 128 strikeouts over 131 innings.
