The New York Yankees have lost one of their most dependable postseason arms from the 2024 season. Right-hander Tommy Kahnle, a fixture in their bullpen, has signed a one-year, $7.75 million contract with the Detroit Tigers, marking the end of his third stint with the Bronx Bombers. This move adds another seasoned arm to Detroit’s already impressive bullpen, which was a strength for the Tigers last season.
Despite the sour memory of his Game 5 World Series meltdown—when the two runs he allowed ultimately cost the Yankees the title—Kahnle’s overall postseason performance was solid.
