The Detroit Tigers<\/a> agreed to a trade Monday to acquire starting pitcher Chris Paddack<\/a> from the Minnesota Twins<\/a>, sources told ESPN, confirming an initial report from The Athletic.<\/p>\n

The Tigers will also receive right-hander Randy Dobnak<\/a> in the deal, with catching\/first-base prospect Enrique Jimenez going to the Twins, sources told ESPN.<\/p>\n

Paddack, 29, is a free agent at season’s end who carried a 4.95 ERA through his first 21 starts, striking out 83 batters and walking 27 in 111 innings.<\/p>\n

Paddack, one of six Twins players who can hit the open market this offseason, will add depth to a talented Tigers rotation that has been seeking a fifth starter ever since Jackson Jobe<\/a> was lost for the season with a torn ulnar collateral ligament. Later Monday, the Tigers announced that right-hander Reese Olson<\/a>, 25, will miss the rest of the regular season because of a shoulder strain, making their need for starting pitching even more acute.<\/p>\n

Dobnak, 30, has spent the majority of this season in Triple-A, posting a 7.12 ERA in 17 games (10 starts). Jimenez, 19, was signed out of Venezuela and was slashing .250\/.339\/.440 at the Tigers’ rookie-level affiliate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alden GonzalezJul 29, 2025, 06:28 AM CloseESPN baseball reporter.
