The Detroit Tigers have made a few frugal signings this offseason, handing out one-year deals to Gleyber Torres, Alex Cobb and Tommy Kahnle. However, they have yet to make that big splash to put themselves above the rest of the pack in the American League Central.

The Detroit Tigers are still seen as a likely landing spot for the top remaining starting pitcher left in free agency.
