Let’s get something straight: the Detroit Tigers’ third base situation has been … a struggle. What once looked like a potential internal solution has too often felt like an embarrassment of a disappointment.
Enter Jace Jung — the young man with a sweet left-handed swing, a loaded pro pedigree, and way more hype than production. In 2025, over 47 Tigers plate appearances, he slashed .106/.236/.106 with zero home runs and just three RBI. Yikes.
Now imagine this: instead of hoping Jace suddenly turns into a superstar at third base, the Tigers bring in his older brother, Josh Jung, from the Texas Rangers — a guy who has already shown big-league impact and All-Star caliber talent when healthy.
