LOOSE ENDS.
Totally Tigers

It has been nearly a year since the Detroit Tigers? PoBO Scott Harris officially started his duties. Upon being hired in late September 2022, he took a number of weeks to explore each department and meet with employees before making any moves.

Harris implemented a number of changes to the organization in his first year but try as he might, there are still a number of factors he inherited from his predecessor that are difficult to either solve or remove. Especially when they pertain to the players Al Avila acquired.

Starting this week and running through the winter, he, new GM Jeff Greenberg and manager A. J.Hinch will have to decide how to handle each. Whether they can maximize their performances or are better off without them on the roster.

There are 4 players at the forefront of their decisions. Let?s review each along with the factors that need to be considered.

Austin Meadows: $4.3M (restricted list or MILB deal)

DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
Totally Tigers

Detroit Tigers? PoBO Scott Harris and newly-hired GM Jeff Greenberg are currently sitting down and analyzing what their needs may be for the 2024 season.

There are lots of holes to fill. Pitchers who are leaving or on the IL, a weak offensive system, infield defensive issues and some players under-performing.

In your opinion, which area of the game should be given the priority in fixing? Which area will improve the team the most?

Pitching?

Defense?

Offense?

I would say the priority is in that exact order

1) pitching (starting)
2) defense (they have guys in the wings but where do they fit defensively)
3) offense Getting better production from 2B, 3B, & DH
