The Detroit Tigers, once in a rebuilding phase, surprised everyone by finishing the season strong, going 30-13 and clinching a wild-card spot. They made an impressive playoff run, defeating the Houston Astros before falling to the Cleveland Guardians in the ALCS.

Despite a disappointing end, the Tigers have a solid foundation with standout players like Tarik Skubal and Riley Greene. However, they face challenges, particularly with underperforming players like Javier Báez, and must make strategic upgrades for future success.
