VEST GOES ON I.L.

Following Thursday's series finale, pitcher Will Vest was placed on the 15-day I.L. with a sore shoulder. Vest will undergo tests, but the injury isn't considered serious. Brenan Hanifee was recalled from Toledo to replace Vest on the roster.

TIGERS SIGN CUBAN DEFECTOR JOSE AGUA

The Tigers have signed 25 year old Cuban 3B/OF Jose Agua. The deal was announced on Tuesday, prior to the team's opening game against the Rockies. Agua is a Cuban defector. He twice hit over .350, with 30 plus home runs, in the Cuban National Series. However, he tore his ACL/MCL early in the 2024 season. Agua defected to the United States in order to get better medical treatment. Agua has yet to resume full baseball activities.

Agua signed a two year, $10 million contract. It's a bit of a risky signing, due to the slower than normal recovery from the knee injury. The Tigers mitigated much of that risk, by including a clause in the contract where the second year is voided if Agua fails to make it to the Majors before the end of 2025, because of the injury.

If healthy, Agua likely would have commanded a much higher salary, with multiple .350, 30 HR seasons in Cuba, as well as showing as a plus defender at both third base, and in the corner outfield. Before the injury, Agua was also a threat on the basepaths, having swiped more than 20 bases 3 times in Cuba. However, the injury likely scared off a majority of suiters, as well as the fact that Agua's power numbers against left handers are significantly lower.

Agua was placed on the I.L. with the Tigers, and will continue his rehab. The hope is that he will be able to begin a rehab assignment before the All Star break.
