Valdespin agreed to a minor league contract with the Tigers on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports.
A day out from his 28th birthday, Valdespin has a new home in the Tigers' organization. His ceiling as a Quad-A type is well established entering 2016, as Valdespin has bounced between Triple-A and the majors for the better part of four seasons. He made just two major-league appearances in 2015 on a Miami club that was without Giancarlo Stanton and Christian Yelich for long stretches.
