The Detroit Tigers are “one of many teams” interested in signing free agent starting pitcher Lucas Giolito<\/a>, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Giolito impressed in the Red Sox’ rotation last year, and he remains on the market with less than one month until spring training. He tossed 145 innings across 26 starts in 2025, posting a 3.41 ERA, 7.51 K\/9, and 3.48 BB\/9. His 4.59 xFIP suggests he may have gotten lucky at times last season, but nevertheless, the results were enough to keep Giolito entrenched in the No. 2 starter role behind Garrett Crochet<\/a>. It doesn’t sound like a deal is imminent, but if Giolito does land in Detroit, he’ll go from pitching behind one AL Cy Young candidate in Crochet to another in Tarik Skubal<\/a>. He’d also reunite with Tigers starter Jack Flaherty<\/a>, who was his teammate in high school. Giolito currently ranks as the #123 starting pitcher in RotoBaller’s latest fantasy baseball draft rankings, but that placement will presumably shift a little once we know where he’ll be pitching in 2026.–Andersen Pickard<\/a>
