• The Tigers signed RHP Alex Cobb for one year, $15 million with $2 million in innings-based incentives. Akil Baddoo was DFA'd.

The Detroit Tigers have signed veteran pitcher Alex Cobb to a one-year contract worth $10 million, with an option for 2025, aiming to bolster their pitching staff. Cobb, who has a history of solid performance including a 3.87 ERA over 15 seasons, is expected to provide both depth and experience to the Tigers' rotation. His signing is seen as a strategic move to enhance the team's competitiveness, with Tigers' President of Baseball Operations Scott Harris highlighting Cobb's ability to elevate both the team's ceiling and floor. Cobb's experience, particularly his time with the San Francisco Giants where he posted a 3.87 ERA in 2023, along with his recovery from hip surgery, makes him a valuable addition as the Tigers look to improve their standing in the AL Central.
