Breaking:4star defense set to end a signing……
Each MLB team has roster turnover from year-to-year, and that will be ESSENTIAL for Detroit if it wants to take another step toward contention.
It’s no secret that the Tigers have struggled on offense over the past few seasons, and that makes it easy to target players who need to be replaced – or at least take a backseat to new additions.
Here are three players who the Tigers shouldn’t have to rely on too much in 2024 if this offseason goes the right way:
Of course, it’s likely that more than three Tigers players will be replaced this offseason, but let’s focus on three hitters who might lose out on playing time.
