Detroit released Wilmer Flores, a former top-100 prospect, after shoulder injuries limited him to 31 minor-league innings with a 7.84 ERA. He spent 2023-25 in the Tigers’ system, including a 4.65 ERA with 90 strikeouts in 89 innings at Double-A Erie in 2023, and he was on the 40-man roster after 2023. Now a free agent, a minor-league deal is the likely path, with a possible Giants reunion given his brother there, but a sustained MLB chance remains unlikely due to age and injury history. Spring invites could be the first real fantasy needle.
