The Detroit Tigers have been relatively quiet for most of the offseason. They had made a few moves, but nothing major. That all changed on Sunday night when they made their first big splash of the offseason.

Jack Flaherty has been hinting strongly on social media that he was ready to land a contract this offseason. On Sunday, Flaherty got his wish from a team already familiar with him.

Flaherty signed with the Tigers last offseason before being traded at the deadline to Los Angeles. Now, he returns to Detroit on a new two-year deal, according to Jeff Passan. Passan says the deal is worth $35 million and includes an opt-out after the first season.
