Twins sign RHP Sanchez to one-year deal

The Minnesota Twins signed right-hander Anibal Sanchez to a one-year, non-guaranteed contract, according to multiple reports.

Sanchez, who turns 34 on Feb. 27, agreed to a deal that would pay him $2.5 million should he make the major league club out of spring training. He can also earn $2.5 million in incentives.

Sanchez holds a 90-94 record and 4.09 ERA over 12 seasons with the Miami Marlins and Detroit Tigers. He went 3-7 with a 6.41 ERA over 105 1/3 innings in 28 outings (17 starts) for the Tigers in 2017.

The Tigers paid him a $5 million buyout instead of picking up his $16 million option for 2018.

Sanchez pitched a no-hitter as a rookie with the Marlins on Sept. 6, 2006. He led the American League with a 2.57 ERA in 2013 with the Tigers.
