The Detroit Tigers have made several huge moves this offseason, but the collective upgrades to their bullpen could prove to have the biggest impact of any of their acquisitions. On Monday afternoon, the Tigers raised some eyebrows across baseball when they brought back left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin.

Hopefully “pitching chaos” isn’t the norm for 2025, but just in case, here’s everything to know about those failed starters out behind left field.

Free agent reliever Andrew Chafin, 34, who has already pitched in 105 games for the Tigers across two stints with the club, signed a minor league deal Monday to go to spring training with Detroit, the team that traded the left-hander to Texas last summer.

The Detroit Tigers continue their preseason schedule on Sunday afternoon as they head over to Tampa to take on the New York Yankees in Spring Training action. This will be the second game the Tigers have played this spring. They opened up Grapefruit League action on Saturday in Lakeland against the Philadelphia Phillies.

MLB spring training continues Monday as the Yankees take on the Red Sox in the heated rivalry. On Sunday, The Yankees dropped a 4-0 game to the Detroit Tigers, while Boston lost to the Toronto Blue Jays 8-7.
