Tigers signed RHP Shao-Ching Chiang to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Chiang, a native of Taiwan, registered an underwhelming 5.15 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and 128/57 K/BB ratio over 131 innings (26 starts) this past season with the Triple-A affiliate of the Indians in Columbus, Ohio. The 26-year-old right-hander seems likely to open the 2020 campaign at Triple-A Toledo.
