Notes
	After a long offseason of speculation, Framber Valdez signed a three-year, $115 million deal with the Detroit Tigers, immediately making that team the runaway favorites in the AL Central. Valdez struggled a little in 2025, ending with a 3.66 ERA, the highest in his career as a starter. Most of this was due to the wheels coming off in the second half of the season, when he accumulated a 5.20 ERA, and opponents began hitting the ball much harder off him. However, he will reunite with AJ Hinch in Detroit, and he struck out 187 batters in 192 innings. Comerica Park should help keep him in games, and Valdez remains a quality start machine. Not a bad SP2 to have, for Detroit or a fantasy team. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
	Am I missing something? His (very respectable) 3.66 ERA in 2025 was a career worst since turning into a full time starter, and he has now moved to a better pitcher's park. He has not started less than 28 games since 2021, so his blend of quality plus durability makes him one of the better SP targets after the top-tier starters are taken off the board. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal
