Tomas Nido News: Elects free agency

Nido elected to become a free agent Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

After accepting an outright assignment from the Tigers in May, Nido has now exercised his right to free agency. The defensive-minded catcher is a career .215/.249/.310 hitter over parts of nine big-league seasons and will look to land a minor-league contract this winter.
