Free agent pitcher Julio Teheran has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Detroit Tigers with an invite to Spring Training, per Jon Heyman of MLB Network. (Jon Heyman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Teheran took the deal with the Tigers over a guaranteed deal elsewhere due to incentives. Heyman added that "If he starts 20 games he makes $4M. The guaranteed deal was a low base with minimal upside." The 30-year-old RHP had a brutal 2020 season with the Angels, sporting a 10.05 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 20:16 K/BB ratio over 31 1/3 innings. He's got a shot to crack the Tigers starting rotation out of Spring Training but is hard to trust for fantasy purposes.
