The Tigers' reported interest in top free agent starter Ranger Suárez was music to fans' ears. The rotation doesn't absolutely require another starter, but if they're destined to lose Tarik Skubal to free agency after 2026, they're going to need a replacement long-term ace. And a Skubal-Suárez 1-2 in 2026 could put the Tigers in an even better position to contend.
Jim Bowden of The Athletic also predicted that Japanese starter Tatsuya Imai will land in Detroit. Bowden is often loud and wrong, but we can cherry pick when it suits us.
