With the Tigers needing bullpen help, it would make a lot of sense if they pursued Iglesias. He would have the potential to provide the Tigers' bullpen with a real boost if signed. This is because he is a dependable and proven reliever who is showing no signs of slowing down at this stage in his career.
Iglesias just had a very good season with the Atlanta Braves in 2026, too. In 59 games, he posted a 2.55 ERA, 34 saves, and 64 strikeouts as an All-Star. He has also had an ERA under 4.00 in each of his last seven seasons. With this, he would be a very good pitcher for a team looking to bounce back, like the Tigers, to add.
