UPDATE: The Detroit Tigers are on the brink of significant roster changes as nine players enter free agency starting at 5 p.m. ET on November 6, 2025. With the MLB offseason set to kick off just days after the World Series, the pressure is mounting for fans and management alike to decide the fate of key players.
Among the most notable free agents are second baseman Gleyber Torres and reliever Kyle Finnegan. Torres, who turned 29 in December, was signed last year on a $15 million deal and has been a standout at the top of the lineup. However, following a recent hernia surgery, he aims to secure a lucrative contract, while the Tigers are evaluating younger talents like Colt Keith and top prospect Kevin McGonigle.
Meanwhile, Finnegan, who joined the Tigers via trade in July, has shown promise but struggled post-injury in September. At 34 years old, the Detroit native could provide much-needed bullpen support if the team decides to retain him. The urgency for the Tigers is palpable, as they look to address gaps across the roster.
“With several key players hitting the market and a need for changes, the Tigers are at a crossroads,” a team source stated.
As the clock ticks down to the signing period, fans can weigh in on the future of each player through polls on social media. The decision-making process is critical, not just for the team but also for the passionate fan base eager for a competitive season ahead.
