What happened: Reliever Emilio Pagán is heading to Detroit on a one-year deal worth about $11M, per Jon Heyman. Bob Nightengale reports the right-hander lands there after Cincinnati declined his $10M mutual option.

Why it matters: The deal pays Pagán $1M more than the option Cincinnati turned down. It adds a veteran arm to the Tigers' bullpen, building on Wire Report's earlier coverage of the signing.

What to watch: Watch for Detroit's official announcement and the roster move that opens his 40-man spot.
