Reaches deal with Detroit Rodriguez agreed Monday with the Tigers on a five-year, $77 million contract, Cody Stavenhagen and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic report.

Impact One day after declining his $18.4 million qualifying offer from the Red Sox, Rodriguez was able to come to terms with the Tigers on a lucrative long-term deal. According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, Rodriguez's contract includes an opt out after the second year plus an additional $3 million in incentives, while Rosnthal adds that the deal also includes a no-trade clause. Though Rodriguez submitted an unremarkable 4.74 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 2021 after sitting out the 2020 season while recovering from a myocarditis as the result of contracting COVID-19, the 28-year-old's underlying statistics were much more encouraging. He posted a career-best 24.0 K-BB% and a career-low 0.71 HR/9, offering hope for improvement in his surface numbers while pitching at a more forgiving home park in Detroit and against less formidable competition in the AL Central.

Extended qualifying offer The Red Sox extended a qualifying offer to Rodriguez on Sunday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Impact The 28-year-old lefty will have 10 days to decide whether to accept the one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer. Given the fact that he finished the season healthy and is entering the prime of his career, Rodriguez seems likely to decline the qualifying offer and land a long-term contract in free agency. He had a 4.74 ERA last year, but his xERA (3.55) and FIP (3.32) suggest he was a bit unlucky.
