The Detroit Tigers coped with many unexpected scenarios in the 2020 season.
They battled through the COVID-19 pandemic, postponements to protest social injustice and a wild 60-game sprint. While the Tigers (23-35) were better than last season's 114-loss team, they still didn't make the playoffs. They finished in last place of the American League Central for the fourth time in six years.
"We should define what success is for this club, and each and every one of these individuals, with how they're going about their business," interim manager Lloyd McClendon said Sunday before the Tigers lost their season finale.
