The Detroit Tigers and pitcher Framber Valdez have reportedly reached an agreement on a three-year contract worth $115 million, according to multiple sources. The deal marks a significant addition to the Tigers' pitching rotation as they look to contend in the American League.

Valdez, a two-time All-Star and a key member of the Houston Astros' 2022 World Series championship team, established himself as a reliable and impactful starter. Last season with Houston, he posted a 13-11 record with a 3.66 earned run average (ERA) over 191 innings pitched. He served as the Astros' ace, consistently providing quality starts and anchoring the team's pitching staff.

The acquisition of Valdez signals the Tigers’ continued investment in bolstering their roster and improving their chances of postseason success. Valdez's experience and proven track record should provide stability and leadership to the Tigers’ pitching group. Details of the contract, including any potential opt-out clauses, are expected to be released shortly after the agreement becomes official.
