August 23, 2025 7:21 PM : The Tigers signed Newman to a minor-league contract Saturday and assigned him to Triple-A Toledo, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Newman was released by the Angels on Aug. 2, and he's finally found a new home. His time with the Tigers will begin at the Triple-A level. The 31-year-old slashed .202/.209/.272 in 116 plate appearances. However, Newman's calling card is his defense.
