The Detroit Tigers already did the hard part. They went out and added Kenley Jansen –– a legitimate, battle-tested closer who instantly raises the floor of this bullpen and changes the tone of late innings at Comerica Park. That’s not nothing. That’s a signal. It says we’re done pretending saves will magically appear.
Now comes the part that actually decides whether that move matters. Because adding Jansen and then calling it a day would be like buying a security system and leaving the front door unlocked. If the Tigers really want to capitalize on this move — not just win the press conference — there are two shrewd, very “Scott Harris-coded” bullpen signings still sitting right there.
