老虎隊的官網也登出簽下倪福德的新聞了:

內容大多是平舖直敍的報導，除了倪福德個人背景和過去出賽經歷外，下面兩段有比較多的描述：

"Our personnel that have scouted Ni project him as a Major League pitcher," Dombrowski said. "We are pleased to add Ni as we continue to expand our international scouting efforts."

It's possible Ni could compete for a spot in the Tigers' bullpen, or he might be headed to Triple-A Toledo.

Dombrowski(經理)表示：「我們的人對倪福德的評價認為他屬於大聯盟等級的投手」，「我們很高興倪福德的加盟，因為我們繼續加強努力在國際上追求好手。」

倪福德有可能競爭老虎隊牛棚的位子，或者是被指派到3A Toledo隊。
