It was starting pitching depth that carried the Reds to their first full-season playoff appearance in more than a decade. Their bats ranked 14th in runs per game, 19th in OPS, and 24th in wRC+. Their gloves ranked 20th in errors, DRS, and FRV. Their bullpen ranked 14th in ERA, but 27th in xERA and 27th in SIERA. Yet, the Reds finished 83-79, edging out the Mets for the NL’s final Wild Card spot. How did they pull it off? Andrew Abbott, Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, Brady Singer, Nick Martinez, Zack Littell, and Chase Burns had a whole lot to do with it. Those seven arms combined to start 152 of Cincinnati’s 162 games, pitching to a 3.69 ERA (84 ERA-) in 832 innings. Their collective 16.4 FanGraphs WAR and 8.64 Win Probability Added as starters helped the Reds finish with the second-best rotation fWAR and third-best WPA in the sport. Martinez and Littell are set to hit free agency, but Greene, Lodolo, Abbott, Singer, and Burns will be back. Three promising arms who missed 2024 with injuries – Rhett Lowder, Brandon Williamson, and Julian Aguiar – should factor into the mix as well, as could top prospect Chase Petty. That’s a lot of names for one rotation. Yet, president of baseball operations Nick Krall doesn’t seem overly eager to deal from that area of strength. “I wouldn’t say no,” he told reporters (including Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer), when asked about the possibility of trading a starter this winter. “But when you trade pitchers, you’ve got to go [back]fill them somehow. We all know how it works, where you run out of innings at some point in the season, guys get hurt, things happen.” The POBO’s comments hit on a key point. The 2025 Reds didn’t just succeed because their starting pitchers were excellent, but because their staff was so deep. Trading away too much of that depth could leave the team scrambling in the case of injuries next season. Greene, Abbott, Lodolo, and Singer are presumably locks for 2026. Meanwhile, Burns, Lowder, Williamson, Aguiar, and Petty all have minor league options; presuming one of them wins the final rotation spot out of spring training, the other four (if healthy) can wait in the wings at Triple-A. Excluding openers, the Reds used 10 different starting pitchers in 2025. They’re going to need more than five to get through another campaign. That’s especially true with this group of arms. Singer has proven himself to be a durable workhorse over the past few years. But no one else on Cincinnati’s staff has ever made 30 starts in a season. Abbott qualified for the ERA title for the first time in 2025, but Greene and Lodolo have yet to accomplish that feat. Burns, Lowder, Williamson, Aguiar, and Petty have started a grand total of 49 games in their young careers, and 26 of those belong to Williamson. As general manager Brad Meador mentioned, the Reds are “going to have to manage the innings of a handful of those guys.” Krall also acknowledged that trading from his major league pitching depth might not be the most straightforward way to improve other areas of the roster. “It’s really hard to say we’re going to go trade a pitcher – and I’m not sure you’re going to trade a pitcher for offense,” he explained. “You might end up trading the pitcher for a prospect and then go have to sign the offense.” [Related: Cincinnati Reds Offseason Outlook, for MLBTR Front Office subscribers] None of this is to say the Reds won’t end up trading a starter. It’s just not a given. Asked about the possibility of dealing Greene, an All-Star on an incredibly team-friendly contract (he’s guaranteed just $42MM over the next three years), Krall could have shut down the line of questioning. Instead, he replied, “I don’t want to speculate on anybody that’s going to get traded or not traded at this point.” The Reds aren’t actively shopping any of their young starters, but it doesn’t sound like anyone is untouchable either. After all, if anyone were untouchable, one would think it would be Greene. That said, for all the same reasons the Reds wouldn’t want to trade Greene, he would bring back a nice return in a deal. All of Cincinnati’s starters are cost-controlled, with Singer, Lodolo, and Williamson still in their arbitration years, and Abbott, Burns, Lowder, Aguiar, and Petty not yet eligible for arbitration. Yet, Greene is both a proven ace and a high-upside young arm, and he is under team control through the 2030 season. That’s a valuable player. If the Reds are looking to shave payroll, trading Singer would be their best course of action; he is projected to make $11.9MM in his final year of arbitration eligibility. If they’re trying to bring back an MLB-ready position player without significantly weakening their rotation for 2026, then it’s Petty, still a top prospect, who makes the most sense to move. However, if the goal is simply to find the best possible return, it’s Greene who would command such a package. Nothing Krall said suggests Greene is on the block. But he had a chance to say Greene was off limits, and he didn’t take it. Instead, the POBO only said that he didn’t want to speculate about trade candidates because he hadn’t “had any conversations with other clubs.” Of course, Krall also said that when a team trades a pitcher, they have to somehow fill his spot. Greene, it should go without saying, wouldn’t be easy to replace. So, a trade still seems improbable – but perhaps it’s slightly closer to being a real possibility than Reds fans might want to believe. View the full article

After years of speculation, the Pirates traded their closer at this past summer’s deadline. David Bednar was shipped off to the Bronx for a three-player package headlined by catching prospect Rafael Flores. That opened the ninth inning for breakout setup man Dennis Santana, who got an extended run as a closer for the first time in his career. Santana has been a revelation since the Pirates claimed him off waivers from the Yankees in June 2024. The Dominican-born righty tossed 44 1/3 innings of 2.44 ERA ball down the stretch that year, earning some stability with the fifth team of his big league career. He began this season in a setup role, then briefly took over as closer when Bednar’s early-season struggles got him demoted to Triple-A. Bednar was back in the ninth by the end of April, but the closer role became Santana’s for good after the deadline. The various roles didn’t slow him down. The 29-year-old Santana turned in 70 1/3 frames with a career-best 2.18 earned run average. He recorded 16 saves and 12 holds while only relinquishing three leads all season. Santana had a less impressive 3.75 ERA after the trade deadline, yet that’s mostly attributable to a five-run blowup at Coors Field on August 1. He worked to a 1.90 ERA while holding opponents to a .152/.236/.291 slash in 23 appearances after that. Santana doesn’t have the usual closer profile. He struck out 22.2% of batters faced, right around the league average for big league relievers. His 94.7 MPH average fastball speed is fine but not exceptional for a late-inning arm. Santana’s wipeout slider is his bread-and-butter offering, a pitch that gets enough whiffs that teams could project his strikeout rate to climb by a couple percentage points. He’s never going to be Mason Miller, though, and most clubs would probably project Santana more as the second or third-best arm in a contending bullpen. Pittsburgh received trade interest in Santana at the deadline. The Phillies were the only team specifically known to have checked in, but it stands to reason the Bucs heard from at least a handful of clubs. They clearly didn’t find an offer to their liking. They’re now down to their final season of contractual control. MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz projects Santana for a $3.4MM salary that easily fits within the budget of any team, even one that runs payrolls as low as the Bucs do. The Pirates aren’t intentionally rebuilding, but they’re coming off a 71-91 season that represented a step back from their consecutive 76-win campaigns before that. Should the Pirates view this offseason as a sell-high opportunity while letting Isaac Mattson, Justin Lawrence and Carmen Mlodzinski compete for the ninth? Will they? Weigh in on our latest poll.

Following the Tigers’ 15th-inning loss to the Mariners in Game 5 of the ALDS, right-hander Jack Flaherty (who pitched two scoreless innings late in the game) spoke to members of the media about how much he enjoyed returning to Detroit this season. “I came back here for a reason, to be with these guys, play with them, and be part of this team. I didn’t want to leave it last year,” he explained (per MLB Network’s Jon Morosi). Flaherty, 30 next week, signed a two-year, $35MM guarantee with the Tigers in the offseason. Earlier this season, he increased that guarantee by reaching the 15-start threshold and escalating his 2026 player option from $10MM to $20MM. In a few weeks, he’ll have a decision to make: Will he opt in for 2026 or return to free agency for a third year in a row? According to Morosi, Flaherty has not yet decided what he’s going to do. In an MLBTR poll at the end of September, more than 60% of readers said he should stay with Detroit, but Tigers beat writer Evan Woodberry of MLive.com claims “it would be a surprise” to see Flaherty pick up his option. Flaherty signed a one-year, $14MM deal with the Tigers in his first offseason as a free agent. He was two years younger than he is now, but he was coming off a mediocre season (144 1/3 IP, 4.99 ERA, 4.53 SIERA, 1.8 fWAR) and had dealt with significant injuries in both 2021 and ’22. Following a much stronger 2024 campaign (162 IP, 3.17 ERA, 3.10 SIERA, 3.3 fWAR), he re-entered free agency but failed to land the long-term deal he was surely looking for, ultimately settling for his aforementioned two-year deal in February. That contract initially came with a $17.5MM average annual value, which he increased to $22.5MM. Now another year older and coming off a less impressive season (161 IP, 4.64 ERA, 3.67 SIERA, 2.5 fWAR), it’s worth wondering if he’ll want to risk another disappointing foray into free agency. Because he was traded to the Dodgers ahead of the deadline in 2024, Flaherty was not eligible to receive a qualifying offer last offseason. It’s certainly possible he opts for free agency, only to receive a qualifying offer (projected to be worth around $22MM) and take it, earning himself an extra $2MM. The righty is precisely the type of player whose earning power could be hamstrung by a qualifying offer, so he might prefer to accept it, play another season with Detroit, and try to enter free agency in a stronger position the following winter. It seems like a safe bet that Flaherty could out-earn $22MM on a multi-year deal this offseason, but the AAV would likely be lower. If he believes he can produce a stronger campaign in 2026, he could maximize his total earnings by taking the $22MM and looking for a more lucrative long-term contract a year from now. If Flaherty returns next season, the Tigers might run with a very similar rotation to the group they used in 2025, featuring Tarik Skubal, Casey Mize, and a hopefully healthy Reese Olson. As things stand, Troy Melton, Keider Montero and Sawyer Gipson-Long could compete for the final spot, although president of baseball operations Scott Harris would be wise to look for some outside help.

Now that the season is over, we’ll start seeing several players choose to become minor league free agents. Major League free agents (i.e. players with six-plus years of big league service time) will hit the open market five days after the end of the World Series, but eligible minor leaguers can already start electing free agency. To qualify, these players must have been all outrighted off their team’s 40-man rosters during the 2025 season without being added back. These players also must have multiple career outrights on their resume, and/or at least three years of Major League service time. We’ll offer periodic updates over the coming weeks about many other players hitting the market in this fashion. These free agent decisions are all listed on the official MLB.com or MILB.com transactions pages, for further reference.

http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Mariners-Advance-to-ALCS.jpgSteven Bisig-Imagn Images SEATTLE — On a per-game basis during the regular season, the Mariners and Tigers both scored and allowed roughly the same number of runs — 4.70 and 4.28, respectively. Through the first four games of the best-of-five ALDS, each team eked out a one-run win and each team triumphed in something of a laugher. Both teams won one game at home and one game on the road, and both teams relied extensively on their bullpens. Heading into Game 5 on Friday night in Seattle, it was clear one team was going to need to do something to distinguish itself. These teams entered the night locked in a dead heat, having played matching hands for much of the series and needing a new strategy, something different to get an edge and break the stalemate, and even then, it required 15 innings and four hours and 58 minutes to do that. When it was all over, the Mariners had outlasted the Tigers, 3-2, on a walk-off single by Jorge Polanco to advance to the American League Championship Series for the first time in 24 years. “I don’t even know where to begin to try to recap all the heroic efforts that went into today,” manager Dan Wilson said. “And 15 innings? I’ve got to say, I don’t know how the fans kept their energy going. It was unbelievably loud, even in the 15th inning. And this is a special place. T-Mobile Park is a special place, and they showed us that tonight. And just an incredible ballgame from top to bottom.” Both starting pitchers were taking the mound for a second time in the series, and both brought a slightly different approach to Game 5 than what they put on tape in their prior starts. In Game 1, Seattle starter George Kirby threw his slider 31% of the time; it was the first pitch he threw to eight of the 22 batters he faced. In Game 5, Kirby went to his slider 50% of the time and threw it as the first pitch to 10 of the 18 batters he faced. After the game, he confirmed this was a conscious shift in strategy to show Detroit’s lineup something different from what it’d seen from him six days prior. “All those guys from top to bottom are probably looking for a heater to start,” Kirby said, “and just starting off with a slider, curveball, whatever it may be, just — if I kept them off balance a little bit, I was able to attack the zone a little bit more with my fastball.” By mixing in more sliders early in the count, he was able to maintain the effectiveness of his four-seamer despite the recent exposure. Though the slider-heavy approach meant Kirby racked up fewer strikeouts than usual, he finished his outing allowing just three hits and one earned run over five innings with six punchouts. After going to his changeup just 22% of the time in Game 2, the Game 5 version of Detroit starter Tarik Skubal went back to throwing his changeup over 30% of the time (in line with his average usage on the season) and scaled back his slider and sinker usage dramatically. Skubal Pitch Type Usage Pitch Game 2 Game 5 Season Average Changeup 22% 33% 31% Four-Seamer 38% 44% 30% Sinker 23% 14% 24% Slider 18% 7% 12% As Jake Mailhot noted prior to Game 5, the Mariners offense was happy to feast on the buffet of sinkers and sliders he laid out on chafing dishes during his first three encounters with Seattle this season. At least to the extent that anyone really gets to eat against Skubal. With that surely in mind, Skubal chose to rely more heavily on his changeup, which is his best pitch by Stuff+ and run value. And though his Game 2 start was only marred by the two home runs hit by Polanco, the recalibrated pitch mix Skubal threw in Game 5 was even more effective, serving up a final line of six innings pitched, two hits, no walks, 13 strikeouts, and one earned run. Skubal’s best got even better and he distinguished himself even further by setting a postseason record for consecutive strikeouts at seven. But while certain aspects of each team’s game plan needed to evolve to stay competitive and perhaps manufacture an advantage, others provide a steadfast edge that should never be modified. Like Josh Naylor’s baserunning. Despite moving at a glacial pace, Naylor reads pitchers and situations like a book. His ability to get the right read led to 30 stolen bases during the regular season and multiple instances during Game 4 where he overtly relayed signals to the batter while standing at second base. So when Naylor doubled in the second, it should have come as no surprise when he made a move to steal third. But Skubal seemed suddenly struck by a bout of ephemeral amnesia, causing him to forget to check the runner. Naylor was able to read Skubal and made it over halfway to third by the time the ace started his delivery. It’s clear Naylor couldn’t believe his good luck because he briefly broke back toward second. The crowd realized what was happening before Skubal did, and as the roar spread through the stadium, perhaps Naylor was worried the overexcited fans were going to blow his cover. But Skubal’s focus stayed trained on Mitch Garver at the plate, and Naylor swiped third on Skubal’s memory lapse. From there, Naylor scored easily when Garver drove a ball deep to right-center field. And with that, Seattle jumped out to a 1-0 lead. . Eventually, the starters came out of the game, and it was on managers Wilson and Detroit’s A.J. Hinch to find a new way to gain an advantage. Initially, Wilson played the hits, which led him to bring in Gabe Speier to face Kerry Carpenter for the fourth time in the series. After Wilson let Kirby face Carpenter for a third time in Game 1, and Carpenter hit a go-ahead two-run homer, Speier became Wilson’s go-to guy for retiring Carpenter, one of the most platoon-heavy players in the game. Carpenter owns a career 138 wRC+ against right-handed pitching, compared to a mark of 69 vs. lefties, with 63 of his 70 career home runs in the regular season coming with the platoon advantage. He’s also 7-for-13 with five home runs in his career against Kirby, including the playoffs, with two of those hits (both singles) coming in his two previous times up in Game 5. The move made sense. And yet, when Carpenter stepped in against Speier with a runner on second and nobody out, he drove a middle-middle fastball 411 feet to give the Tigers a 2-1 lead in the sixth. Carpenter did the very thing Wilson’s tried-and-true Speier-strategy aimed to prevent. Then, in the seventh inning with runners on first and second and Skubal out of the game, Wilson attempted to send the lefty-hitting Dominic Canzone and his 150 wRC+ against righties to the plate to face right-handed reliever Kyle Finnegan in place of Garver and his 63 wRC+ against righties. But once Canzone was announced, Hinch lifted Finnegan from the game and brought in lefty Tyler Holton. From there, Wilson pivoted to birthday boy and switch-hitter, Leo Rivas, who brings neutral platoon splits to the function. As such, when Holton left a changeup over the plate, Rivas looped it into left field for a game-tying single. Bringing in Rivas was a departure in strategy for Seattle. Initially, when Rivas heard his number called, he thought he was most likely coming in to run for Polanco who stood at second. Instead, he took his first-ever postseason plate appearance and knotted the score at two. “To be honest, I was ready to run for Polo on second,” said Rivas, who turned 28 on Friday. “Then [bench coach] Manny [Acta] came to the case, ‘Hey, Papa, come here. Go get this guy.’ I’m like, ‘All right, I’ve got him.’” The Mariners next move to shake things up and create separation from the Tigers was to bring in starters Logan Gilbert and Luis Castillo out of the bullpen. The two pitchers have headlined Seattle’s rotation over the last few years and neither has pitched a single inning in relief at the major league level. Gilbert last pitched out of the pen during his sophomore year at Stetson University in 2017, while Castillo last appeared as a reliever for the Marlins High-A affiliate in 2016. Gilbert and Castillo combined for 3 1/3 scoreless innings, preventing Wilson from needing to call upon the members of the bullpen that Detroit had already knocked around earlier in the series. As the innings wore on, Hinch cycled through Finnegan, Holton, and Will Vest — his mainstay relievers. He also called upon Troy Melton and Keider Montero, his all-purpose pitchers, who have spent the season cycling between starting and relieving. Then, like Wilson, Hinch asked a starter to power through a couple of innings. Game 3 starter Jack Flaherty worked the 13th and 14th after not having appeared in relief since pitching one inning out of the bullpen for the Cardinals in 2022. But before we get to what happened in the 15th inning, we must pause for a brief interlude to explain some T-Mobile Park lore to those not already in the know. As part of the between-inning entertainment at every home game, the Mariners host a Salmon Run in which four salmon — King, Sockeye, Silver, and Humpy — race along the warning track. Stats are kept documenting each salmon’s record, and famously, Humpy had never won. As of this writing, the fun fact in Humpy’s bio on the Mariner’s website reads, “Has never won the race!” Just over a week ago, outfielder Victor Robles joined the Salmon Run to ensure Humpy stayed winless. But as the two teams continued to tack on extra innings, someone behind the scenes made the call to stage a second Salmon Run. And y’all are never gonna believe what happened: Humpy notched its first career win. The players and coaches were not the only ones in the stadium pushing the envelope in the hope of securing a victory. Then, in the bottom of the 15th Tommy Kahnle took the rubber for the Tigers. Kahnle famously throws changeups 86% of the time. But perhaps knowing a shift in strategy would be necessary to finally overcome the deadlock in both the game and the series, Kahnle threw just 62% changeups, opting to mix in six fastballs. Or maybe the uptick in fastball usage was simply a byproduct of Kahnle’s inability to locate his changeup. Normally, he is able to throw the pitch to all quadrants of the zone, but on Friday, Kahnle struggled to even kiss the shadow region of the zone. His only way to tempt hitters to swing was to use his fastball to prove he could still hit the zone with something. But it wasn’t enough. After J.P. Crawford singled to start the inning, Kahnle hit Randy Arozarena to put two runners on with no outs. The next batter was Cal Raleigh, who hit a fly ball to center that seemed ill-placed to advance the runners, but Crawford tagged up and pushed for third anyway, and a throwing error Parker Meadows not only allowed Crawford to reach third, but it also let Arozarena move up to second. Detroit intentionally walked Julio Rodríguez to load the bases for Polanco, hoping he would roll over a Kahnle changeup and ground into an inning-ending double play. Instead, Polanco worked the count full and then got just enough of the barrel on a low-and-away changeup to rip it through the four-hole into right field, scoring Crawford and sending Seattle into a state of joyous delirium. “I know we played a long game, but this team never gave up,” Polanco said. “I know there is a lot of emotion, but we are always trying to keep it simple. I’m just trying to go out there and play and trying to get the win.” With the win, the Mariners advance to the ALCS to face the Blue Jays. It will be Seattle’s first appearance in the Championship Series since 2001 and fourth time overall. Though the team has found success at various points over the last 30 years, but it has never reached the World Series. While waiting for Wilson to join the media in the interview room for his postgame press conference, a Mariners PR person brought in a gray plastic chair and placed it behind the mic at the center of the table, between several padded leather chairs. When Wilson entered the room, the reason for the change became clear. Visibly dripping with a soup of beer and champagne, Wilson took his seat — the gray plastic one — so as not to ruin the upholstery of the chairs on either side. The rearranging of the furniture represented one final strategic shift to get Seattle over the ALDS hump and on to Toronto, where the series begins this Sunday. Source View the full article

After an epic 15-inning win over the Tigers in Game Five of the ALDS, the Mariners are advancing to their first AL Championship Series since 2001. The club’s hard-worked pitching staff will likely be getting some major reinforcements, as M’s president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto told reporters (including the Seattle Times’ Adam Jude) that right-hander Bryan Woo is expected to added to the Mariners’ roster for the next round. Woo probably won’t pitch until closer to the midpoint of the series, Dipoto said. This means Woo is being lined up for a start when the ALCS shifts to Seattle for Games 3-4 and (if necessary) 5. It also leaves open the question of who exactly will be starting for the Mariners in the first two games in Toronto, as the M’s used starters Logan Gilbert and Luis Castillo out of the bullpen during last night’s 15-inning marathon. Gilbert threw 34 pitches over two innings of relief, and Castillo threw 15 pitches over 1 1/3 frames. Dipoto told Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 radio last night that “probably Bryce [Miller] and friends” would be the plan for Game 1, “but for a couple of days we may have to be creative…simply because so many guys had to pitch in today.” Miller would be working on three days’ rest if he started Game 1, so as Dipoto implied, the bullpen may be leaned on again in what would probably be a limited start for the righty. Castillo is probably the favorite to go in Game 2 with Gilbert’s availability also a question, and in theory, this could line up Gilbert for Game 3, George Kirby in Game 4, and Woo in Game if the M’s chose to deploy their full rotation. This assumes that Woo will be used in a normal starting capacity, and holding him off until the middle of the series would give the right-hander more time to fully ramp up. Woo posted a 2.94 ERA over 186 2/3 innings during the regular season, but he developed pectoral tightness in a start on September 19 that forced him out of the game after five shutout innings. Woo hasn’t pitched since, though he wasn’t placed on the 15-day injured list, and he was able to throw a bullpen session and a simulated inning prior to the start of the ALDS. Jude wrote prior to Game 5 that Woo threw close to 30 pitches during a bullpen session on Friday, and “appeared to be throwing at roughly 75 percent effort” before kicking things up “closer to 100 percent” for the final few pitches of the session. Seattle and Toronto don’t have to reveal their ALCS rosters until tomorrow, so we’ll get the final word then on Woo’s involvement and whose spot he’ll be taking on the 26-man. The move to a seven-game series likely means the Mariners will carry an extra pitcher after using 14 position players and 12 pitchers in the ALDS, so a rookie like Ben Williamson or Harry Ford could be the odd man out.

Last week, I shared 15 of the queer books on my Halloween month TBR, and that was just a sample of the books I’m hoping to read in October. For a minute there, I decided I would just read a book a day to get through them… as you might expect, that plan quickly fell apart. But I have read a few so far and have enjoyed them all: Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle, My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna van Veen, and Queer Little Nightmares edited by David Ly and Daniel Zomparelli. Next weekend, on October 18th, is Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon. I look forward to it all year, and for the October readathon, I always pick a TBR with lots of queer horror and Halloween-adjacent reads. Here are five of the novellas and graphic novels I’m hoping to read then. This content is for members only. Visit the site and log in/register to read.

With the Tigers’ season now over, Gleyber Torres is planning to undergo sports hernia surgery, the second baseman told reporters (including the Detroit News’ Tony Paul) in the aftermath of the club’s loss in Game Five of the ALDS. Torres revealed that he has been dealing with the injury for several months, and praised the Tigers’ training and medical staff for helping him keep playing. “It was not good from the [start of the] second half,” Torres said. “It was a lot of pain. But we do a really good job keeping me playing….It’s not about the numbers, it’s just about playing every day.” A look at Torres’ numbers, however, clearly reveals something was amiss. Torres hit .281/.387/.425 over 359 plate appearances in the first half of the season, and was performing well enough to earn a starting nod as the American League’s second baseman in the All-Star Game. Once the All-Star break was over, however, Torres hit only .223/.320/.339 over his final 269 PA of the regular season. He seemed to rediscover his stroke over Detroit’s first seven postseason games, but an 0-for-6 showing in yesterday’s 15-inning marathon with the Mariners dropped Torres’ playoff slash line to .235/.316/.382 over 38 PA. Torres’ slide mirrored the Tigers’ own fortunes. One of baseball’s better clubs for much of the season, Detroit went 9-22 over its last 31 games and barely squeaked into the postseason field in the final AL wild card slot. If the Tigers had retained their healthy AL Central lead, Torres likely would’ve gotten more opportunity to rest down the stretch, and yet the mutual struggles of player and team led to the Tigers led to an unfortunate Catch-22 situation. The Tigers still needed Torres in the lineup as much as possible as their top-choice second baseman, yet Torres’ struggles kept adding to the team’s woes (though Torres was far from the only Detroit player to under-perform in September). The injury adds context to Torres’ second-half decline, and adds a wrinkle to his upcoming free agent market. Firstly, sports hernia surgeries usually take at least two months of recovery time and closer to 12 weeks on the longer end, so the procedure shouldn’t impact his readiness for the start of Spring Training. Interested suitors might now wait until Torres is fully recovered before diving too deeply into his market, so it is possible he might not sign until late December or early January. For the season as a whole, Torres hit .256/.358/.387 with 16 homers over 628 PA, with below-average glovework (though better public defensive metrics than his 2024 work as the Yankees’ second baseman). This works out to 2.6 fWAR, which was still eighth-best among all second baseman in 2025. Looking at the free agent second base market, Torres is still arguably the best option available, since Jorge Polanco’s time at second base was also impacted by injury. Torres’ reps at Octagon will clearly make the case that their client’s first-half performance is a better reflection of what a healthy Torres can bring. Detroit signed Torres to a one-year, $15MM contract last winter that was essentially a pillow deal for the second baseman, as he was looking a shorter-term deal and a better platform year in 2025 that would allow him to re-enter the market with a stronger set of numbers. Torres hit .257/.330/.378 with 15 homers over 665 PA (with a 105 wRC+ and 1.8 fWAR) for New York in 2024, so while he did improve in Detroit, it wasn’t the leap ahead he was hoping to achieve. Could a return to Motown be possible? Torres is open to it, saying “hopefully we get a really good conversation here. I feel really good with this group….It was really special this year.” Retaining Torres would be a logical way for the Tigers to keep a right-handed hitting bat within their lefty-tilted lineup. On the flip side, a longer-term deal with a second baseman might not appeal to a Tigers team that has some notable minor league infielders (Hao-Yu Lee, Max Anderson, and star prospect Kevin McGonigle) nearing MLB readiness.
