The Detroit Tigers are entering a pivotal offseason following a surprising playoff run in 2024. After being sellers at the trade deadline, the team's unexpected success has raised expectations for the future.
To become serious contenders, the Tigers need to address key areas, particularly by acquiring a front-end starter to complement Tarik Skubal and adding a powerful bat to their lineup. The team's management, under Chris Ilitch, may need to loosen the purse strings to capitalize on their promising young talent.
