11/11/24 | Detroit Tigers Will Give Disappointing Signing Chance to Earn Spot in Rotation. The Detroit Tigers have entered a period after an unlikely run to the postseason and a Wild Card round victory over the Houston Astros where it looks like they are on the cusp of competing for a championship right now. One player that was not the case for was Detroit's big acquisition from last winter in the rotation, Kenta Maeda. With Maeda struggling tremendously in the first season of the two-year, $24 million deal the team gave him, he had to move into the bullpen as the season went on. Maeda's numbers started to improve from the bullpen and he struggled once again when he got the chance to start the regular season finale, all of this beggining the question what kind of role he will have in 2025.
