The Detroit Tigers made a move on Wednesday afternoon that very well may have been the most consequential acquisition of the offseason thus far for this year's

The Detroit Tigers have certainly made their fair share of questionable decisions for the better part of the last decade. Even as recently as this offseason, the club gave $15 million contracts to Gleyber Torres and Alex Cobb,

Free agent slugger Pete Alonso might be available to the Detroit Tigers on a more affordable deal, but there may not be room for him in the lineup.

The Detroit Tigers are reportedly on the verge of signing former New York Yankees reliever Tommy Kahnle to add a veteran bullpen presence.

The Tigers are staring at an enormous opportunity and shouldn’t blink. They’ve waited patiently, prudently, and now is the time to act.

Kahnle, 35, has spent parts of 10 seasons in the big leagues, including six with the New York Yankees. He was a reliable part of the Bronx bullpen last season. He made nine appearances in the postseason, earning the save in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series at Cleveland.

It has been a mediocre offseason so far for the Detroit Tigers, who haven’t quite made the splash some had been hoping for coming in. After an incredible run in 2024, expectations for the Tigers are very different going into 2025.

The Detroit Tigers have made a few frugal signings this offseason, handing out one-year deals to Gleyber Torres, Alex Cobb and Tommy Kahnle. However, they have yet to make that big splash to put themselves above the rest of the pack in the American League Central.

Tigers PoBO Scott Harris foreshadowed more moves after their Tommy Kahnle signing, but fans shouldn't get their hopes up.

Jeff Passan of ESPN said on Wednesday that he cannot believe the New York Yankees are not pursuing free agent Alex Bregman, given the team's infield needs.

Detroit Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris has already signed three free agents this offseason, but he plans on making more moves.
