With the city’s beloved Detroit Tigers currently sitting at an abysmal 30-71 (.297 winning percentage) on the season, most fans in the Motor City have their sights set on football season before the calendar has even hit August. With some of the current personnel on the roster occupying roles they shouldn’t at this point of a rebuilding effort, I can’t blame them one bit for focusing on the gridiron. However, a few roster manipulations could make this Tigers team a bit more fun to watch, or at least bearable, for the rest of the season.
Head-scratching comments by manager Ron Gardenhire fueled rumors about potential roster moves ahead of the team’s game against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday morning.
