The Detroit Tigers have signed their first five draft picks from the 2026 amateur draft, including first-round pitcher Cameron Flukey for $3.8 million, which is under slot value. Flukey is noted for his high-90s fastball and effective curveball, with potential as a frontline starter. The Tigers aim to save funds for their prep and JUCO picks, facing competition from college offers enhanced by NIL deals. They have a total bonus pool of $9.16 million, with strategic plans to secure key signings while managing potential penalties for exceeding the pool.
