Tigers avoided arbitration with RHP Doug Fister by agreeing to a one-year, $4 million contract.
It's a big raise for Fister, who was arbitration-eligible for the first time. The tall right-hander posted a 3.45 ERA in his first full season with the Tigers in 2012 after putting up a 2.83 mark the season before. He'll be a key cog in the Detroit rotation again in 2013.
