The 32-year-old backstop has appeared in 43 games at the Triple-A level for the Tigers this season, slashing .236/.317/.368 with three homers and 10 RBI. He’ll add quality catching depth for the Red Sox.

Nido was hitting .236/.317/.368 in 43 games at Triple-A this season. The 32-year-old will look to latch on with another organization.

Nido, who spent several years alternating between Triple-A and the majors for the Mets, will stay with the Tigers after appearing in 10 games for them this this year and spending the rest of the season in Triple-A. The 31-year-old is a lifetime .215/.249/.310 hitter in 982 major league plate appearances.

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.
