Per Detroit Tigers MLB.com beat writer Jason Beck, the club is expected to announce a two-year, $11.25 million deal with Jhonny Peralta over the next few days.
The deal is worth slightly less than the two-year, $11.5 million deal third baseman Brandon Inge signed last month and includes a club option for a third year.
With Inge and Peralta both locked up for the next two seasons, the Tigers can focus on going after other free agents like Victor Martinez and Carl Crawford. Detroit has upwards of $60 million coming off the books in salary and should be key players for both.
