Tigers' comeback player gets snubbed in Silver Slugger announcement with Royals glut

American League Silver Slugger finalists were revealed on Thursday morning, and the Tigers had two deserving representatives in Riley Greene and Zach McKinstry. Greene's nomination was far from a shock after his 36-homer, 111-RBI season, but McKinstry's inclusion was a little shocking and the perfect exclamation point on an admirable season.

The Tigers were far from the most slug- or homer-happy team in 2025, but there are still arguments to be made for Detroit hitters who were overlooked. You could point to Gleyber Torres at second base, who had a pretty comparable season to finalist Brandon Lowe in everything but slugging.
