JUST IN: Detroit Tigers club president Scott Harris has made a huge pledged to Tigers fan amid club top target pitchers after Kenta Maeda,

The Detroit Tigers signed veteran starter Kenta Maeda earlier this week, but they’re not finished yet.

“We’re going to keep looking to add pitching,” Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris said. I’ll never say that we have enough pitching. I don’t think there can ever be enough pitching. We’ll see what’s available and whether we can find more ways to make our staff more diverse and better overall.”

If the Tigers plan on doing any holiday shopping, there’s good news: the shelves are still stocked.

While this year’s crop of free-agent position players may be the weakest in recent memory, the strength of this year’s class neatly aligns with the Tigers’ wish list: a mid-tier starting pitcher.

We discovered 11 pitchers on the market who are in the same price range as Maeda, who signed for two years and $24 million.

Could the Tigers make a move for recently released Japanese pitchers Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shota Imanaga? Without a doubt.

However, someone from the list below is far more likely to end up in Detroit next year. In no particular order, here are the possibilities. Contract estimates come from Fangraphs’ crowdsourced predictions, MLB Trade Rumors’ annual projections, Jim Bowden’s predictions for The Athletic, and Baseball Trade Values’ future value estimates.

Seth Lugo is the first.

Age: 34 The right-hander just finished his first full season as a starter, posting a 3.57 ERA in 146 1/3 innings for the San Diego Padres. He’ll be hoping for the first multiyear contract of his career. Estimates for the contract: $26 million over two years (Fangraphs) $32 million over three years (MLB Trade Rumors) $2 million over two years (The Athletic) Baseball Trade, 2 years, $28.4 million

Clevinger, Mike
In December, I was 33 years old.

Clevinger, a former mainstay in the Cleveland rotation, spent last season with the White Sox, posting a 3.77 ERA in 131 1/3 innings. His strikeout totals are significantly lower than they were in his prime, but he has good command and is regarded as a reliable mid-rotation option. He’d be a steal on a one-year contract. However, the second year, which most expect him to get, could be more difficult to predict.

Estimates:

2 years, $24 million (Fangraphs)

2 years, $26 million (MLB Trade Rumors)

2 years, $25 million (Baseball Trade Values)

3. Jack Flaherty

Age: 28

After battling injuries for parts of three seasons, this was supposed to be a showcase year for Flaherty before hitting free agency. He did end up throwing 144 innings between the Cardinals and Orioles, and his 4.36 FIP was far better than his 4.99 ERA. The projections for Flaherty are all over the place. He could get two or even three years because of his age. But might he prefer a one-year deal to position himself for another run at free agency next winter?

Estimates:

2 years, $20 million (Fangraphs)

3 years, $40 million (MLB Trade Rumors)

1 year, $10 million (The Athletic)

2 years, $26.8 million (Baseball Trade Values)
