Detroit Tigers shake up their offseason by declining Kenley Jansen’s club option and locking in Drew Anderson for 2027. How will these moves reshape Detroit’s bullpen depth and free agency ambitions as the team faces a pivotal winter?

Scott Bentley breaks down the Tigers’ front office decisions—including the unexpected one-year deal for Jacob Waguespack, the implications of recent 40-man roster changes, and Detroit’s refusal to offer Jack Flaherty a qualifying offer. The conversation focused on prospect accolades, with Dillon Dingler and Max Anderson earning Gold Gloves, and spotlights key upcoming deadlines that could trigger more roster moves. With new openings and fresh contract negotiations looming ahead of the December CBA, is a roster overhaul or calculated patience in store for the Tigers?
