Know your enemy: Detroit Tigers

KEY ADDITIONS: Jose Urena, Robbie Grossman, Wilson Ramos, Nomar Mazara, Wily Peralta, Julio Teheran

KEY SUBTRACTIONS: Ivan Nova, Austin Romine, Jordan Zimmermann, Jorge Bonfacio

The Tigers had a horrific 114-loss season in 2019, and went 7-19 in September.

Why, then, do I think they might slowly be on the way back?

Finally, some of their recent high draft picks from all the losing seasons might bear fruit. Former No. 1 overall pick Casey Mize didn’t do all that well in his first MLB season, but discount that due to the weirdness of 2020.
