The Detroit Tigers are reportedly showing real interest in at least three starting pitchers on the free agent market.
have long been expected to be involved in the market for starting pitching this offseason to add some help behind Tarik Skubal and try to make an even deeper run in the postseason in 2025.
Detroit could try to buy low on with a one-year deal just as they did with Jack Flaherty last offseason. The Flaherty gamble paid off big time and even though the team dealt him awayAll three pitchers are similar in the way that they have shown flashes of brilliance but at this point aren't much better than above average. Buehler last was productive in 2021 and finished top-five in Cy Young voting that season but has simply not played a lot of baseball in the three seasons since.
Gibson and Heaney meanwhile have struggled less with injuries and more with declining performance after decade-plus careers. The best stint of Heaney's career came two years ago with the Dodgers when he posted a 3.10 ERA in 16 appearances. The two years since have been solid but unremarkable with a 4.22 ERA in 59 starts, but he certainly offers a quality and reliable addition.
