As the Tigers look to build on the scorching finish to the season that deliver
ed them a trip to the ALDS in 2024, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reported
yesterday that the club is expected to target “at least” one starting pitche
r this winter.
根据The Arheletic 的记者Cody Stavenhagen 的报导，老虎计划在今年休赛季签下至少
一名先发投手。
With that being said, Stavenhagen cautions that the club is hoping to stick wi
th short-term additions who can be had on one- or two-year contracts. Stavenha
gen also suggests that the club could be hesitant to land a pitcher who receiv
ed a Qualifying Offer this winter due to the associated loss of draft capital.
老虎希望以一到两年的短约来补强先发投手。
That doesn’t mean the club is completely unwilling to explore higher-tier opt
ions, however, as The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon reported this
afternoon that the club has at least “some interest” in a reunion with right
-hander Jack Flaherty.
不过老虎即便在先发投手的补强以短约为主要策略，但他们不完全排除寻找市场上比较好
的先发投手，记者Ken Roswnthal 跟Will Sammon 表示老虎对于今年曾经效力过的先发投
手Jack Flaherty 产生一些兴趣。

心得：看国外的虎迷有看到Rosenthal 的文章说，老虎会比较谨慎，因为他们想避免过去
前一批高层签下Javier Baez 的错误。
不过投手如果用短约签，感觉今年老虎的补强会放在打者，之前有看到老虎在找三垒手，
有在考虑Nolan Arenado 跟金河成。
