The Detroit Tigers have signed outfielder Manuel Margot of San Cristobal, Dominican Republic to a contract according to Nick Deeds of mlbtraderumors.com. The length of the contract is for one year. The financial terms are dependent on whether or not Margot makes the Tigers Major League Baseball roster. If he is successful, Margot will make a minimum of $1.3 million. If Margot is unsuccessful, he will make $200,000 in the minor leagues. Margot also has a chance of making $1.2 million in bonuses if he has 500 major league plate appearances. It should be noted that Margot has only had 500+ plate appearances twice (529 in 2017 and 519 in 2018).
Margot had previously signed a minor league contract in the Major League Baseball offseason with the Milwaukee Brewers on February 21. However, Margot was only with the Brewers for one month and one day, before he was released by Milwaukee on March 22. Margot was not out of work for long, as he signed with the Tigers one day later.
