NFL
Mike Pettine will continue as defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay ranked ninth in the league in scoring defense this season.
MLB
The Detroit Tigers added some pitching depth yesterday by signing veteran lefthander Héctor Santiago to a minor-league deal. Santiago struggled last season, compiling a 6.68 ERA with the Mets and White Sox.
Detroit also filled its vacant managerial spot at its Double-A Erie farm club. Arnie Beyeler will replace Mike Rabelo, who has joined the major league staff of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Beyeler was the Baltimore Orioles’ first base coach last season, following three years at the same position for the Boston Red Sox. He has 15 seasons of minor league managerial experience, and played six seasons in Detroit’s minor-league system in the late ’80s and early ’90s.
