WEST SACRAMENTO, CA — The Detroit Tigers signed Alex Cobb to a one-year, $15 million contract in free agency.

That was back on Dec. 9, 2024.

Cobb, who had been contemplating retirement before the Tigers reached out to him , suffered a hip injury in the first week of February before reporting to spring training . The 37-year-old has been rehabbing injuries to both hips ever since then. He still hasn't pitched for the Tigers in the 2025 season, which is expected to be the final campaign of his MLB career.

Will the Tigers ever get Cobb into MLB games in 2025?
