Tigers Ink Brandon Inge To Two-Year Contract

The Tigers are set up to be potentially the most active team on the market this offseason. Their first order of business, however, was to make sure their third baseman stayed put.

Detroit could have looked at the open market or waited out Brandon Inge, who in turn could have tested the open market and tried to search out the best deal. In the end, though, the two-year, $11.5 million contract extension they finalized on Thursday, including a club option for 2013, made too much sense.
