Tigers Sign LHP Konnor Pilkington to Minor-League Deal With Spring Invite

The deal carries a reported $1.2 million MLB salary if he makes the roster plus up to $250,000 in incentives.

Overview

  • The 28-year-old lefty joins camp in Lakeland as a non-roster invitee ahead of pitchers and catchers reporting.
  • He retains one minor-league option, allowing Detroit to move him between Triple-A and the majors if added to the 40-man roster.
  • In 2025 with Washington, he posted a 4.45 ERA with 17 walks and 34 strikeouts over 28⅓ MLB innings.
  • He recorded a 2.59 ERA across 41⅔ innings for Triple-A Rochester last season.
  • The Nationals designated him for assignment on Jan. 28, and he elected free agency before agreeing to terms with Detroit on Feb. 9.
