After the Tigers found out that relief pitcher Joel Zumaya would be out of action at least midway through the upcoming season, the Tigers made the move to re-sign closer Todd Jones to a one-year, $7 million contract.

Jones, 39, successfully converted 38 of 44 saves during the course of the season.

The Tigers feel Jones is the safe way to go at least until Zumaya is ready to return.
