Detroit secures key players for 2026, re-signs a veteran outfielder, avoids arbitration, and trims the roster to 39 spots.

The Detroit Tigers are reportedly re-signing a veteran outfielder to a $3.255 million deal this offseason.

Andy Ibáñez provided the key pinch-hit that lifted the Tigers past the Astros and into the AL Division Series a year ago. He’s now a free agent after the Tigers did not tender the veteran infielder a contract by Friday’s deadline.
