If there’s one thing we know about Detroit Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris, it’s that he’s not afraid to add lots of pitching.
Outside of bringing back second baseman Gleyber Torres for another season on a one-year qualifying offer, Harris has used his first few free agency moves on bullpen arms.
Here’s the latest on the Tigers free agency front:
Source: The #Tigers have signed Kenley Jansen to a one-year contract for 2026 with a club option for 2027.

The 38-year-old needs 24 saves to reach 500 saves in his MLB career, a milestone achieved only by Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman.
On it: @JeffPassan, @ChrisCotillo.
Source: The #Tigers have signed reliever Kyle Finnegan to a two-year, $19 million contract. The deal can max out at $20 million. No opt outs or options. @Ken_Rosenthal first reported the two sides were nearing an agreement.
