McGehee lands minor-league deal with Tigers

The Detroit Tigers reportedly bolstered their depth at third base ahead of their first official spring workout for position players, agreeing Tuesday to a minor-league deal with Casey McGehee.

Over parts of seven seasons in the majors, McGehee owns a .708 OPS with with an 8.2 percent walk rate and 16.8 percent strikeout rate in 820 games between the Marlins, Giants, New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates, Milwaukee Brewers, and Chicago Cubs.
