The Tigers have exercised their option to keep closer Jose Valverde under contract for next season.
Valverde signed a $14 million, two-year deal in 2010 with Detroit holding a $9 million option for 2012.
He led baseball with 49 saves in 2011. He became the third player in major league history to save at least 40 games without blowing an opportunity.
