The Tigers are still a competitive team who is looking to make the MLB playoffs in 2026.

With all of their injuries, one player they should look to add is Marcus Stroman.

The 35-year-old has spent the last two seasons playing for the New York Yankees (and is currently a free agent).

While Stroman struggled in 2025, going 3-2 with a 6.23 ERA, he has had a very strong career.

He spent the first five and a half seasons of his career with the Toronto Blue Jays, establishing himself among the best pitchers in the American League.

After the Blue Jays, Stroman had stops with the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs (before the Yankees).

As recently as 2023, he was an All-Star (with the Cubs).
