Per a report from John Heyman on Wednesday, and confirmed by Ken Rosenthal, the Detroit Tigers and former New York Yankees reliever Tommy Kahnle were nearing a free agent contract. They have now agreed on a one-year, $7.5 million contract for 2025. The 35-year-old right-hander has had some issues with walks in recent years and is coming off a down year. He would make a good project for pitching coach Chris Fetter and his staff.
Kahnle broke into the league with the Colorado Rockies before coming into his own in 2017 with the Chicago White Sox.
