Days of Roar Tigers Podcast. Ben Badler breaks down Detroit Tigers' 2026 international class. 56 minutes.

The 2026 international signing period is underway. On "Days of Roar," Evan Petzold and Chris Brown react to the Detroit Tigers signing three international prospects to seven-figure bonuses: catcher Manuel Bolivar, shortstop Oscar Tineo and outfielder Randy Santana — and debate which teenage prospect has the best chance to develop into a special player. We discuss the remaining free agents who fit the Tigers' roster and payroll, such as starter Chris Bassitt and reliever Seranthony Domínguez, then answer a listener question: If the Tigers don't make another move, is the current roster good enough to reach the postseason in 2026? Ben Badler of Baseball America joins the show for a deep dive into the 2026 international class, evaluating the Tigers' top signings and explaining how the Tigers can gain an edge in the international market moving forward. He also provides an update on record-breaking signee Cris Rodriguez from the 2025 international class after his standout performance in the Dominican Summer League. There's more Tarik Skubal vs. Tigers discussion, as we try to figure out if the salary arbitration showdown is really just a Scott Harris vs. Scott Boras battle (or an owners vs. union battle) — and whether there's a path for both sides to walk away satisfied.
