Octavio Dotel is on the verge of an unusual record. Dotel has reached an agreement with the Detroit Tigers on a one-year deal, with a team option for 2013. When he takes the mound for the Tigers next season, the reliever will be playing for a record 13th major league franchise. The 38-year-old Dotel is currently tied with Matt Stairs, Mike Morgan and Ron Villone after appearing in a game with 12 franchises, according to STATS LLC. Stairs retired last season, finishing his career with the Washington Nationals after starting it 19 years earlier with the same franchise when it was in Montreal.
