The Tigers signed pitcher Phil Bickford to a minor league deal with a spring training invite, seeking pitching depth and upside.
The Detroit Tigers signed pitcher Phil Bickford to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training, aiming to add depth and potential upside to their pitching staff.
Bickford, 30, previously played in the majors with Atlanta and the Dodgers, posting a 4.26 ERA from 2021 to 2023.
Though he hasn’t appeared in the majors since 2023, he has shown strong performance in Triple-A since 2024, posting a 3.46 ERA and 29.3% strikeout rate.
The deal, which could be worth up to $1.3 million if he reaches the majors, reflects the Tigers’ strategy of evaluating low-risk, high-reward talent as they prepare for the 2026 season.
