Tigers C Tomás Nido elected free agency.

Nido gets a head start on searching for a new home this offseason after spending the final four months of last season at Triple-A Toledo. The 31-year-old backstop batted .343 (12-for-35) with two RBI during a 10-game stint with the Tigers back in May. He’s the definition of emergency catching depth at this juncture of his career.
