The Detroit Tigers made a big free agency move when they awarded veteran right-handed pitcher Alex Cobb with a one-year deal worth $15 million with the chance to be worth up to $17 million through innings incentives.

Lots of teams called early in the offseason. The Tigers made it clear they were interested and would be aggressive. The pitching market heated up rapidly. Cobb, 37, signed a one-year, $15 million contract with the Tigers this week.
