The Detroit Tigers made their first significant move of the offseason earlier this week, as the team signed former Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres to a one-year, 15 million-dollar deal.

According to Tigers general manager, Scott Harris, Torres will plan to start at second base and youngster Colt Keith will be taking reps at first base. The status of Spencer Torkelson's starting status is up in the air, as he will potentially be moved to designated hitter.

Torres, a seven-year veteran in New York, hit .257 last season with the Yankees and registered a .330 on-base percentage and .378 slugging percentage. According to MLB.com, the two-time all-star also has a 20.3% strikeout rate during his career, which is below the 22.7% MLB average, and a 9.1% career walk rate, which is just above the MLB average.

The Tigers also have showed interest in Houston Astros third-baseman Alex Bregman and have also signed veteran starting pitcher, Alex Cobb, to a one-year, 15 million deal.
