Overview
- Detroit has an agreement with right-hander Drew Anderson on a one-year Major League contract with a 2027 club option, pending a physical.
- Team officials expect him to report to spring training as a starter, with reports framing him as rotation depth who could vie for a back-end spot.
- Anderson dominated for the KBO’s SSG Landers in 2025, posting a 2.25 ERA with 245 strikeouts over 171.2 innings in 30 starts.
- He has not pitched in MLB since 2021 after earlier stints with the Phillies, White Sox, and Rangers, and he spent 2022–23 in Japan before returning to Korea in 2024–25.
- The Tigers had an open 40-man roster spot, so no corresponding move is required, and salary terms have not been disclosed.
