Free agent outfielder Torii Hunter has agreed to a two-year contract with the Detroit Tigers, according to foxsports.com's Ken Rosenthal.

The deal is pending a physical, Rosenthal reports.

Hunter, a nine-time Gold Glover and four-time All-Star, told MLB Network on Monday morning that he wanted to decide on a team within two weeks. Other teams reportedly interested in the 37-year-old were the Texas Rangers (he lives in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area), New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers.

In his 16-year career, Hunter has hit .277 with 297 home runs, 1,143 RBIs and scored 1,068 runs.

Hunter is expected to play rightfield for the Tigers and possibly bat in the No. 2 spot in the lineup.
