 The Detroit Tigers have re-signed right-handed pitcher Brendan White to a minor league deal, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. White, who was non-tendered by Detroit last month, received a non-roster invitation to the big league Spring Training as part of the deal. If promoted to the majors, White will earn $765,000.
White, 26, began his journey with the Tigers organization as a 26th-round pick in the 2019 draft. Making his professional debut shortly after, he did not pitch during the canceled minor league season in 2020. However, he returned to action in 2021 for the club's High-A affiliate, where he posted a solid 4.17 ERA in 101 1/3 innings with a 23.9% strikeout rate and a 6% walk rate over 26 appearances (18 starts). Upon his promotion to Double-A the following year, White was moved to the bullpen. This change in role yielded excellent results, as he dominated opposing hitters with a 2.67 ERA in 67 1/3 innings, maintaining a 6.3% walk rate and increasing his strikeout rate to 27.1%.
