Tigers Sign Pedro Ciriaco

By Jeff Todd | August 17, 2016 at 10:06pm CDT

The Tigers have signed infielder Pedro Ciriaco to a minor league deal, as Evan Woodberry of MLive.com tweeted earlier today. The 30-year-old was released recently by the Marlins.

Ciriaco represents another infield option for the injury-addled Tigers, who also just acquired Erick Aybar from the Braves. He could well play a niche role for Detroit down the stretch once rosters expand at the start of September, as both his glove and his baserunning have typically drawn good reviews.

The Tigers won’t be expecting much out of Ciriaco at the plate, though. He owns a .256/.282/.302 batting line over 273 plate appearances on the year at Triple-A with the Rangers and Marlins organizations. And he has slashed only .268/.294/.368 over his 649 trips to the dish at the major league level over parts of six seasons.

      He not only survived Bobby Valentine, he played pretty well that year. At least for awhile.

    I am really starting to feel that Iglesias might be out longer than reported. This is the 2nd SS added in 3 days.

    Has some good days with the Sox. Can’t recall if he was traded after he burned out, or while he was still hitting pretty well.

    The other Pedro. I enjoyed watching PC in Boston – good luck with the Tigers.

    Ciriaco is better than a lot of “break glass in case of emergency” options. Decent glove and isn’t a complete loss at the plate.

    I hope Pedro Ciriaco sticks. I’ve always liked him. That means Brad Ausmus won’t play him.
