The 2024 season marked a significant turnaround for the Detroit Tigers, culminating in their first postseason appearance since 2014. A strong finish to the regular season and a wild-card sweep of the Houston Astros showcased their potential, although they fell short against the Cleveland Guardians in the ALDS.
Key players like Tarik Skubal excelled, winning the American League Triple Crown, while others like Spencer Torkelson and Javier Báez struggled. Looking ahead, the Tigers must navigate offseason decisions, particularly regarding Báez's future, while integrating promising prospects into their lineup for 2025.
