ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Right-hander Drew Anderson and the Tigers agreed to a $7 million, one-year contract, Detroit general manager Scott Harris said Monday.

The deal includes a $10 million team option for 2027.

Anderson, 31, spent spring training with the Tigers in 2024 on a minor league contract and struck out 14 over eight innings while allowing seven runs and nine hits. He had a 3.86 ERA in nine games with Triple-A Toledo, then asked to be released and signed with SSD Landers in South Korea.

He went 23-10 with a 2.91 ERA over parts of two seasons in South Korea, striking out 403 and walking 104 in 287 1/3 innings.

Anderson last pitched in the major leagues with Texas in 2021 and then spent two seasons with Hiroshima in Japan's Central League.
