Tigers Agree to One-Year Deal With RHP Drew Anderson, Club Option for 2027

Detroit turns to a KBO breakout to bolster its rotation depth.

Overview

  • The agreement, first reported by The Athletic, is pending a physical and includes a 2027 club option.
  • Detroit plans to use Anderson as a starter when he reports to spring training.
  • In 2025 for the KBO's SSG Landers, Anderson logged a 2.25 ERA with 245 strikeouts and 51 walks over 171.2 innings across 30 starts.
  • He has not pitched in MLB since 2021 and owns a 6.50 ERA across 44.1 innings with the Phillies, White Sox and Rangers.
  • The Tigers have an open 40-man roster spot, so no corresponding move is required to add him.
