Sanchez was acquired last season in a trade with the Miami Marlins in July and went 4-6 with a 3.74 ERA in 12 regular season games with the Tigers.  When it really counted in October, Sanchez posted a 1.77 ERA and went 1-2 in three playoff starts.

The right-hander reportedly reached an agreement with the Cubs for $75 million on Thursday before the deal slipped through the cracks.

The Tigers were swept out of the World Series by the San Francisco Giants to end 2012.
