Brandon Inge has agreed to sign a contract with the Athletics, according to a person with knowledge of the talks.
Oakland has been mixing and matching at third base so far this season.
Inge was released by the Tigers on Thursday after batting .100 (2 for 20) with one home run and two RBIs in nine games this season.

There is a chance that the Athletics will look to sign Brandon Inge, who was released by the Tigers this week.
Inge can't sign with a team until he clears release waivers and that won't likely happen until after the weekend.
The Orioles and Twins have also been linked to Inge, but the A's need help at third base as much as anybody.

The Athletics have called up prospect Jarrod Parker to start Wednesday against the White Sox.
Oakland acquired Parker last December as part of the deal that sent Trevor Cahill to Arizona.

Bartolo Colon is off to an excellent start, posting a 2.63 ERA in his first four starts.
The right-hander threw 38 consecutive strikes for the Athletics this past week.
He could be one of the most sought-after trade targets at midseason, and maybe sooner rather than later.
Colon's base salary for this season is just $2 million, far less than some of the alternatives that will pop up on the market, and Oakland's front office is clearly devoted to the idea of building the team for 2015-16.
