Wells has been released by the Tigers, Chris Iott of MLive.com reports. | ||||||
Wells will probably find another team to play in the minors with, but it's hard to see any club signing a corner outfielder with a .230 career batting average and expecting him to make the majors. | ||||||

Wells signed a minor league deal with the Tigers on Friday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports. | ||||||
The last stint Wells had in the majors was with Philadelphia in 2013 where he played a total of 12 games. Taking this into consideration, it would be somewhat surprising if the 30-year-old spent significant time in Detroit this season. | ||||||

He'll presumably receive an invitation to major league spring training. The 28-year-old played for three different teams in 2013, slashing a meager .126/.186/.147 in just 102 plate appearances. He could compete for a reserve outfielder role with the Cubs, or as a platoon option against southpaws. | ||||||

The 28-year-old outfielder had a rough go of it in 2013, slashing just .126/.186/.147 over 102 plate appearances between three different teams. He's still talented enough that there should be interested teams willing to let him compete for a reserve outfielder role in spring training. | ||||||

Wells will be joining his fifth organization since the start of 2013. The 28-year-old outfielder is a .236/.305/.407 career hitter at the major league level and is doubtful to suddenly take on fantasy relevance in Philly. | ||||||

Casper Wells had a forgettable night at the plate in the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader against the Phillies, going 0-for-6 in a losing effort. | ||||||
The miserable performance drops his overall line on the season to a putrid .170/.214/.189 with one RBI in his first 53 at-bats. While he has displayed offensive potential in the past, he's severely hurting the White Sox every time they are forced to play him. | ||||||
