UPDATE: The Detroit Tigers are at a pivotal moment as they approach the November 6, 2025 deadline for free agency signings. With nine players facing uncertain futures, fans and analysts alike are eagerly anticipating decisions that could reshape the team’s roster. Free agent negotiations will officially begin at 5 p.m. ET on November 6, just days after the conclusion of the World Series.
Among the most significant names on the chopping block are second baseman Gleyber Torres and reliever Kyle Finnegan. Torres, who turns 29 in December, is coming off a successful one-year stint with the Tigers after signing a $15 million contract last offseason. However, following a recent hernia surgery, his prospects for a long-term deal with Detroit are uncertain, especially with promising young talents like Colt Keith and Kevin McGonigle, the Tigers’ top prospect, ready to step up.
Finnegan, who was acquired during the trade deadline in July, proved to be a solid addition but struggled post-injury. The 34-year-old, a Detroit native, could provide much-needed stability to the Tigers’ bullpen if the team decides to keep him and meets his financial demands.
Fans have the chance to weigh in on the fate of these players. Polls are open for voting on whether to keep or release each free agent, including:
– Kyle Finnegan: Stay or Go?
– Gleyber Torres: Stay or Go?
– Tommy Kahnle: Stay or Go?
– Rafael Montero: Stay or Go?
– Chris Paddack: Stay or Go?
– José Urquidy: Stay or Go?
– Paul Sewald: Stay or Go?
– Tanner Rainey: Stay or Go?
– Alex Cobb: Stay or Go?
