The Detroit Tigers have added another bat to their rotation, signing OF Justin Upton to a six-year contract.

Not long after, details of the trade were released. As ESPN's Jerry Crasnick tweeted, the deal is worth upwards of $22 million/year. Upton has spent his entire nine-year MLB career in the National League, in stints with Arizona, Atlanta and most recently the San Diego Padres.
