The Detroit Tigers appear to have added one of the best relief pitchers in the majors last season.
According to an ESPN report, the Tigers have agreed to terms on a three-year, $16.5 million contract with right-hander Joaquin Benoit.
The 33-year-old will reportedly earn $5.5 million a season with an additional $1 million a season in incentives.
In 2010, Benoit, who was the Tampa Bay Rays setup man, posted a 1.34 ERA in 60.1 innings pitched. He recorded 75 strikeouts and 11 walks.
