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.
