The Cubs signed first round pick Andrew Cashner yesterday, and the Tigers followed suit by inking first rounder Ryan Perry today. Both relievers signed for about $1.5MM.
According to John Moredich of the Tucson Citizen, Perry will be a September call-up for the Tigers if all goes according to plan. He might be the first member of the ’08 draft class to reach the bigs. The Tigers are seven games out, so Perry could even impact the playoff race.
