Brandon Inge, whose long Detroit Tigers career came to an end when he was released last season, has contract offers on the table from two different (and unidentified) MLB teams, according to a report by MLB.com’s Evan Drellich.
Drellich reported that both deals would provide Inge a minor-league contract with a spring-training invite.
After the Tigers cut Inge loose following a 2-for-20 start to the 2012 season, the veteran third baseman signed on in Oakland. There, he proceeded to belt 11 homers and drive in 52 runs in 74 games, before suffering a shoulder injury in mid-August.
Inge underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right (throwing) shoulder in September.

My initial approach with the Brandon Inge news tonight was the same as any minor league signing: acknowledge that it happened and move on. Danny Knobler reported that the Pirates are close to a minor league deal with Inge, who turns 36 this season. Like 99% of minor league deals, this one comes with no risk, and a small chance to provide some sort of reward. For that reason, there’s...
