DETROIT (AP) -- The Detroit Tigers have agreed to a one-year contract with reliever Jose Valverde, who is expected back with the team Wednesday.

And manager Jim Leyland says Valverde will be Detroit's closer immediately.

Valverde was the Tigers' closer the last three years, but the team was prepared to let him leave as a free agent after he faltered during the 2012 postseason. But he never signed elsewhere, and Detroit brought him back on a minor league deal.

He pitched three scoreless innings at Class-A Lakeland, and now he's being called all the way back up to the majors.

Detroit optioned right-hander Brayan Villarreal to Triple-A Toledo, and the Tigers expect to make another move to clear space for Valverde on the 40-man roster.

I know I've been asking for this for the past couple of years but send Phil Coke to Triple-A I mean Phil Coke the left-hander picture has already made the same type of mistake this season as the Detroit Tigers closer that Valverde made last season and in the postseason but Valverde has proved himself in the past seasons. I really don't think Phil Coke can say that for himself he was middle relief in any game that the Detroit Tigers were on the path of losing badly and pitched as a starter briefly, I don't get it.

This sucks for my fl team! But still going to keep Benoit El Grande is going to do a huge belly flop I do believe.
