Tigers purchased the contracts of 2B Scott Sizemore, SS Audy Ciriaco, 1B/OF Ryan Strieby and OF Brennan Boesch.
The four players are now on Detroit's 40-man roster and subsequently protected from the Rule 5 Draft. Sizemore, 24, underwent surgery in October to repair his left ankle but should be fine for the start of spring training. He'll get a shot to compete for the 2010 starting second base gig as long as the Tigers don't do something unexpected this winter on the free agent market.
