The Detroit Tigers have emerged as a surprising contender in Major League Baseball, transitioning from a rebuilding team to a playoff participant in 2024. Under manager AJ Hinch, they defeated the Houston Astros in the postseason, showcasing a mix of grit and talent.

Key players like Riley Greene, Kerry Carpenter, and AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal have been pivotal in this turnaround. As the offseason approaches, the Tigers look to build on their success by addressing roster gaps and potentially adding veteran talent.
