The Detroit Tigers reportedly added some firepower to its rotation on Wednesday night.
The Tigers and free-agent pitcher Framber Valdez agreed to a three-year deal worth $115 million, according to multiple reports. Valdez will join a rotation that already included two-time American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal.

Valdez, a World Series champion with the Houston Astros in 2022, has spent all eight years of his career with the American League West team. He appeared in 31 games during the 2025 season, recorded a 3.66 ERA and struck out 187 batters.
Since making his major league debut in 2018, he is 81-52 with a 3.36 ERA. He’s averaged more than 191 innings pitched over the last four seasons, joining San Francisco Giants pitcher Logan Webb as the only two pitchers to throw at least 175 innings each of those years.

He also has a no-hitter under his belt. He completed the feat against the Cleveland Guardians in 2023 and nearly did it against the Texas Rangers in 2024.
Valdez rejected a $22.025 million qualifying offer from the Astros in November. Houston will receive a compensatory pick after the fourth round of the upcoming MLB Draft.
The Tigers are expected to learn the result of Skubal’s arbitration hearing on Thursday. He filed for $32 million with Detroit countering $19 million.
