The Detroit Tigers have strengthened their pitching lineup by signing veteran right-hander Alex Cobb to a one-year contract. This move positions Cobb as the second starter behind Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal.

Despite a challenging 2024 season where Cobb only made three starts due to a shoulder injury, he previously excelled with the San Francisco Giants, earning an All-Star selection in 2023. The Tigers are also looking to bolster their rotation further, considering other veteran options.
