The Tigers are actively seeking pitching help this offseason, having signed Kenley Jansen and Kyle Finnegan while expressing interest in Chris Bassitt and Lucas Giolito, who both had successful 2025 seasons. Despite their interest, the slow-moving free agent market may delay any potential signings, especially with top pitchers still available. Bassitt, 37, offers stability for the back end of the rotation, while Giolito, younger but with injury concerns, presents more upside. The Tigers’ future plans will be influenced by Tarik Skubal’s arbitration situation, affecting their financial flexibility for further acquisitions.
