What happened: The Detroit Tigers finalized their contract with the 32-year-old right-hander while resolving several offseason club option decisions. Waguespack returns to Detroit's bullpen mix after posting a 2-2 record across his appearances between the major leagues and Triple-A.

Why it matters: Detroit keeps experienced pitching depth intact following a season in which Waguespack rejoined the organization and delivered a 2.49 ERA. The move shores up middle-relief innings while preserving 40-man roster flexibility ahead of winter business.

What to watch: Detroit shifts its focus to upcoming tender deadlines and 40-man roster management ahead of winter meetings.
