The Tigers lost Game 5 of the ALDS against the Seattle Mariners on Friday night in heartbreaking fashion, ending their postseason hopes in an outcome that Detroit fans could all but feel coming. The bats died and the bullpen ran out of gas in the historic 15-inning affair.
Now, the Tigers have to prepare for what will hopefully be an eventful offseason. While the vast majority of Tigers' players still have years of team control left, there are some who will definitely be either shown the door or happily walking through it when free agency officially begins.
Expect a decent amount of roster turnover as the Tigers prepare for 2026 — their final season with Tarik Skubal under contract.
