Things are getting ready to heat up in baseball. The World Series ended just 3 weeks ago, followed by a mandatory “quiet period” in which teams could make no moves outside of their organization. And during the week of awards, MLB requests that teams not interrupt the proceedings.
It all started in earnest on November 5th, 2.5 weeks ago. Teams are currently focusing on getting their rosters in order, determining their needs. Trades and signings will happen soon.
On November 4, contract options were picked up – or not. The Tigers, as expected, did not pick up Casey Mize’s $3.1 mill option and he will return to the regular arbitration process.

For the first time in years, no players had opt out contracts with Detroit.
As well, the 4th was the day for qualifying offers to be made. The Tigers had no players who were eligible.
It is this time of year that is crucial to building the roster. Here are the dates to keep in mind as we follow Scott Harris’ moves.
 
The Tigers have made the following roster moves:
Agreed to terms with INF Andy Ibáñez and UTL Zach McKinstry, avoiding arbitration.
Claimed LHP Bailey Horn off waivers from Boston.
Designated RHP Wilmer Flores for assignment.
Declined to tender contracts to RHP Wilmer Flores, INF Eddys Leonard, RHP Ricky Vanasco, and RHP Brendan White.
The 40-man roster is now at 40.

Horn, 26, posted a 6.50 ERA with 10 walks and 13 strikeouts across 18 innings in 18 MLB games in 2024, making his MLB debut in late June. He also had a 4.54 ERA in 30 games at the Triple-A level.
Bailey Horn's control has been terrible, but he does have excellent raw stuff for Chris Fetter and co. to work with.
