The Detoit Tigers signed infielder Adam Everett to a one year contract on Monday. Barring a medical issue, Everett will shore up the left side of the Tigers infield in 2009. The physical will be taking place on Tuesday and everything is expected to check out ok after Everett had surgery last year.

Everett hit .213 with two home runs and 20 RBIs in just 48 games of an injury-plagued 2008 season for the Twins. The one year deal is rumored to be worth $1 million plus some incentives.

Now management will turn their attention to signing a closer for the 09 season. J.J. Putz and Kerry Wood are at the top of their list.
