While there wasn’t any major news out from the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday at the Winter Meetings, there were plenty of small items to report as Scott Harris, GM Jeff Greenberg, and manager A.J. Hinch all made the rounds with the baseball media assembled in Dallas.
The only move that actually affects the roster was the official signing of right-handed starting pitcher Alex Cobb. The 37-year-old veteran of the Rays, Orioles, and Giants will earn $15 million with an additional million in incentives if he reaches 140 and 150 innings thrown in 2025. You’ll note that he was paid the same as Jack Flaherty was in 2024, despite the fact that Cobb was unable to return from his 2023 hip surgery due to shoulder inflammation, and barely threw at all for the Guardians after getting flipped there at the deadline.
