Tigers ink reliever Tommy Kahnle to one-year contract

The Detroit Tigers have made another small free agency move in signing relief pitcher Tommy Kahnle to a one-year deal worth just under $8 million.

The 35-year-old Kahnle’s ten-year Major League has featured stops with the New York Yankees (6 years), Colorado Rockies (2 seasons), Chicago White Sox (2 seasons), and Los Angeles Dodgers (1 season).

In a corresponding move, the Tigers designated former first-round pick Alex Faedo for assignment.
