Tigers Eye Trades Amid Offseason Challenges

The Detroit Tigers are entering the offseason with optimism following a surprising 2024 playoff run but face challenges in enhancing their starting rotation. While Tarik Skubal shines as a potential AL Cy Young winner, the team lacks depth and may explore trades, including acquiring Toronto Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero Jr. They might also consider re-signing Jack Flaherty, who performed well for them before being traded. Despite these hurdles, predictions suggest the Tigers could make a World Series push, needing both pitching support and offensive power. The Seattle Mariners, like the Tigers, are expected to focus on trades and international markets rather than major free-agent spending to enhance their roster.
