DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
Totally Tigers
During the off-season, PoBO Scott Harris has emphasized a number of times that a team can?t have too many pitchers. And since the 2023 season ended, the Tigers have been very busy dropping and acquiring pitchers more than any other type of player.
So far, they have eliminated 21 pitchers through an opt out, DFA, free agency and trades. A few of those players have chosen to come back. Most of those leaving were on the minor league rosters.
On the other end, the Tigers have acquired 8 new pitchers. Half of them are expected to be on this year?s roster.
Harris has also said he?ll be looking for new pitchers throughout the season.
What do you believe is the single biggest reason for such a significant change in the organization?s pitching prospects?

What is the biggest reason for such a high turnover in the Tigers' pitching?
1. The new player development system has determined they have leveled out in their development.
2. The new Front Office is placing more focus on pitchers who control the strike zone, have a higher SO ratio and keep runners off the bases.
