Jason Foley

The oft-injured reliever had pitched just 11 1/3 total MLB innings between 2020 and 2022 but has thrown at least 60 innings in each of the last two seasons. While his 2023 season in Atlanta was good, his 2024 in Texas was great, earning an All-Star bid while registering 33 saves and pitching to a 1.17 ERA and 0.83 WHIP. Even though the Tigers got a good season out of closer Jason Foley, Foley was also removed from the role at times throughout the season, so Yates would give them another dependable option at the end of games.
