The offseason is well underway, but the Tigers have yet to make any truly attention-grabbing moves. Instead, fans have had to scroll past awful trade proposals for Tarik Skubal and just wait for things to get going.
There's no doubt that the Tigers will contend again in 2026 and build on what they've done over the last two seasons, but the roster is far from perfect. There is a sound, constantly improving core, but also a lot of fat that can be trimmed and potential additions that can be made to turn Detroit into a real threat next year, and to try to persuade their potentially once-in-a-generation starter to stay exactly where he is.
