  "account": "The Detroit Tigers have signed left-handed pitcher Nick Raquet to a two-year minor-league contract, according to a report by Ari Alexander, a Boston television reporter. Raquet recently underwent Tommy John surgery, which is the reason for the two-year deal. The 30-year-old Raquet, a third-round pick by the Washington Nationals in 2017, made his Major League Baseball debut in 2025 with the Cardinals, where he appeared in two games. Raquet, who last pitched in 2026 for the Baltimore Orioles, had a 3.73 ERA and 1.390 WHIP in 33 games with the Orioles' Triple-A team. He throws a fastball in the high 80s, along with a sinker and a slider. The Tigers have not officially announced the signing, which is their third move this offseason.",
  "summary": "Nick Raquet was a third-round pick by the Washington Nationals in 2017, but in 2020 he quit the game to go work for Ernst & Young.",
