Kenley Jansen Officially Named Tigers’ Closer After Passing Physical

Jansen has passed his physical and is officially Detroit’s closer. The deal pays $9M in 2026, with a $12M club option for 2027 or a $2M buyout. The veteran right-hander is ranked among MLB’s all-time saves leaders after a decorated Dodgers run and recent stints in Atlanta and Boston. The move gives the Tigers late-inning stability and postseason-tested experience.
