Nothing too major, but they inked Jamie Walker to a one year deal for $775,000. Not a bad price. Walker was the only Tiger who was arbitration eligible this season.

Walker had a decent season for Detroit last year, used mainly as left handed specialist out of the pen. He got his batting average against left handed hitters down to .212 after a rough start, but gave up 6 homeruns in the equivalent of 32 innings against lefties.

Plus, Walker has some trade value. So come next year’s trade deadline, we might be able to use Walker to garner a prospect from a team looking for a lefty to round out their bullpen.
