Tigers signed RHP Ashton Goudeau to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Goudeau made 12 relief appearances last season for the Rockies in a mop-up relief role, compiling a bloated 7.08 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 16/10 K/BB ratio across 20 1/3 innings (12 appearances). The 30-year-old righty has racked up 32 appearances (one start) in the majors over the last three years and gives the Tigers some additional organizational pitching depth.
