Veteran pitcher Tommy Kahnle has agreed to a one-year contract worth $7.75 million with the Detroit Tigers, reinforcing their bullpen following a successful playoff campaign. At 35 years old, Kahnle brings valuable experience to the team, having recorded a 2.11 ERA and one save over 50 appearances with the New York Yankees last season. His ability to deliver an elite changeup adds depth to a Tigers roster that is eager to build on last season's success.

In a corresponding personnel decision, the Tigers designated right-hander Alex Faedo for assignment. Faedo had a solid 3.61 ERA in 37 appearances last year. Kahnle's postseason experience, where he has a 3.00 ERA in 27 relief outings, is expected to be instrumental as the Tigers look ahead to the upcoming season and aim to solidify their presence in the competitive American League.
