Signings and key returns
- On October 28, the Tigers picked up the option on closer José Valverde. [9]

[14] The following day, the team agreed on one-year deals for starting pitcher Max Scherzer, outfielder Delmon Young and utilityman Don Kelly. This helps the team avoid an arbitration hearing for the 10th year in a row.[15]
- On January 24, the Tigers signed first baseman Prince Fielder to a nine-year, $214 million dollar deal. [16] As a result, Miguel Cabrera moved to third base. [17]

Trades
- On December 9, the Tigers traded relief pitcher Ryan Perry to the Washington Nationals for fellow reliever Collin Balester.[19]
Controversies
On April 27, 2012, an intoxicated Delmon Young was arrested for third-degree assault and an “aggravated harassment hate crime” in New York City after a confrontation with a Jewish man in which he make antisemtic remarks outside of their hotel before a series against the Yankees. [20][21] Later in the day, Young issued a statement apologizing for his actions.[22] On April 30, Young was suspended without pay for seven games. [23]
