Veteran closer Kenley Jansen has signed a one-year, $9 million deal with the Detroit Tigers, adding experience to their bullpen for the 2026 season. The contract includes a club option for 2027 worth $12 million with a $2 million buyout. Tigers president Scott Harris praised Jansen's success in high-leverage situations.
Kenley Jansen, fresh off signing a one-year, $9 million contract with the Detroit Tigers (with a 2027 club option), reflected on a poignant memory from his early prospect days. In 2008, the then-20-year-old Dodgers catcher prospect visited the demolition site of old Tiger Stadium, dreaming of the majors—now, at 38, he's wearing the uniform.
