Matthew Boyd - Rejoins Detroit Boyd agreed to a one-year, $10 million contract with the Tigers on Thursday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact The left-hander spent most of 2022 recovering from the flexor tendon surgery he underwent in September of the previous year, but he returned as a reliever for the final month of the campaign in Seattle and had a 1.35 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB over 13.1 innings. Boyd will now return to Detroit, where he spent the prior six-plus seasons. He was pitching well in 2021 prior to the injury with a 3.89 ERA across 15 starts, and a return to that form would be a major boost to the Tigers' starting rotation.

Miguel Diaz - Returns to Detroit on minors deal Diaz signed a minor-league deal with Detroit on Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact The Tigers designated Diaz for assignment in mid-November and subsequently non-tendered him, but he'll still have a role with the team as organizational depth. The 28-year-old righty only threw 3.2 major-league innings last season and recorded an unremarkable 4.29 ERA in 65 innings at the Triple-A level.

Michael Papierski - Returns to Tigers Papierski re-signed with Detroit on a minor-league deal Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Papierski was designated for assignment and non-tendered by the Tigers in mid-November. While the organization didn't see a major-league role for him, it evidently likes him enough to bring him back as a depth option. He didn't look like he deserved anything else in his 39-game MLB debut last year, hitting .143/.228/.187.

Brendon Davis - Back with Tigers on minors deal Davis returned to the Tigers on a minor-league contract Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Davis made his big-league debut last season, appearing in three games late in the year. He was designated for assignment and non-tendered in mid-November but will return to the Tigers in an organizational depth role.

Miguel Cabrera - Plans to retire after 2023 season Cabrera said Monday in an interview with MLB.com that he plans to retire after the 2023 season. "I think it's going to be my last year," he said. "It feels a little weird to say th...
Impact Considering that Cabrera will be due $32 million for 2023 -- the final year of the $248 million contract extension he inked in March 2014 -- his decision to play one final season comes as little surprise. The 39-year-old had already moved into more of a part-time role at designated hitter by the second half of the 2022 campaign, and Tigers manager A.J. Hinch previously said earlier this month that he doesn't envision Cabrera playing on an everyday basis during the final season of his Hall of Fame-worthy career, per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. Cabrera still hit a respectable .254 in 433 plate appearances in 2022, but his walk rate (6.6 percent) and ISO (.063) both plummeted to career-worst levels.

Austin Meadows - Reaches deal to avoid arbitration Meadows agreed to a one-year contract with the Tigers on Friday, avoiding arbitration.
Impact Detroit will keep Meadows around at north of $4 million in 2023. Meadows appeared in just 36 games last season around mental health struggles and injuries, finishing the year on the IL with strains to both of his Achilles' tendons. He should have a normal offseason and the expectation is that Meadows will be the starter in either right field or left on Opening Day.

Tyler Alexander - Avoids arbitration Alexander agreed to a one-year, $1.875 million contract with the Tigers on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Alexander has found his niche at the major-league level as a swingman, starting 42 games and pitching in relief in 53 others over the past four seasons. He turned in a 4.81 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 101 innings in 2022 -- a step back from 2021, but still serviceable. The southpaw should be expected to get close to the century mark in terms of innings again in 2023.
