The Detroit Tigers have reportedly come to terms on a one-year contract with a former four-time All-Star reliever.

(Expected Weighted On-Base Average on Contact) is a measure from Statcast that considers a player’s offensive production only when they make contact, removing strikeouts, walks, and hit-by-pitches to assess the quality of batted balls, indicating how well a player should have performed on contact alone, not what they actually got.

Former Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen is heading to another American League contender. Jansen, who spent 2025 in Anaheim after a two-year stint in Boston, has agreed to join the Tigers, multiple sources said Saturday. It’s reportedly a one-year deal with a club option for 2027.

These six players just missed the cut for the Free Press' All-125 team despite outsized roles in the 125-season history of the Detroit Tigers.

The Detroit Tigers made a small move yesterday to open a spot on the 40-man roster.
