Drew Anderson Expected to Have $10M Option Exercised by Tigers

The Detroit Tigers are set to exercise right-hander Drew Anderson's $10 million club option for 2027. Returning from four years in Asian leagues, Anderson posted a 2.61 ERA in 11 starts (51.2 IP) and a 4.63 ERA across 56.1 relief innings in 2026. The 32-year-old featured a 48.4% ground-ball rate and a 33.3% whiff rate on his curveball. He provides key versatility and right-handed depth as a bulk reliever or swing starter heading into next season.
