MLB
Former Tigers’ outfielder Andy Dirks is now a free agent. Dirks was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays last month, after Detroit made some 40-man roster adjustments. He missed the entire 2014 season following back surgery. Dirks was eligible for arbitration if the Blue Jays had offered a contract, but Toronto declined. Dirks can now sign with any team.

The Jays brought in another former Detroit outfielder yesterday, signing Ezequiel Carrera to a minor league deal with a major league spring training invite. Former Detroit reliever Jim Johnson has signed a one-year major league deal with the Braves. Johnson joined the Tigers late last season, after being released by the Athletics.

Our high school hockey coverage continues tonight, when L’Anse skates at Negaunee. Our pregame show begins at 6:40. Hear the Copper Country’s most complete hockey and basketball coverage this winter on KBear 102.3 and KBear102.com.<
