Tigers Showing Interest in Lucas Giolito
The Detroit Tigers have shown interest in free agent starting pitcher Lucas Giolito, according to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic. The Tigers remain active in the starting pitching department on the open market and have also been linked to veteran right-hander Chris Bassitt. Giolito made his return to the bump in 2025 after missing all of the 2024 campaign recovering from an internal brace procedure. With the Red Sox, Giolito turned in a solid bounce-back campaign, posting a 3.41 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP across 145 innings of work. The 31-year-old struck out 121 hitters and generated a high 5.06 xERA, suggesting he could take a step back in 2026. If Giolito were to join Detroit, he would likely contend with Troy Melton and Drew Anderson for a final spot in the rotation and would be left as a deep-league streamer in favorable matchups for fantasy.
