It’s not just the holiday season right now; it’s also sort of Draft season at MLB Pipeline, after we just unveiled our 2024 Draft Top 100 on Wednesday evening.

The front office struck right away to land a nice little offensive upgrade in Mark Canha, but with Eduardo Rodriguez and then Spencer Turnbull out of the
Good idea. The Detroit Tigers clearly needed to balance their pitching staff with some left-handed help this offseason, and they needed to improve the bullpen. This move accomplishes both at a very reasonable cost and commitment. On Sunday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press was first to report that the Tigers had reached an

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tigers filed out of the Winter Meetings without any major deals, though they still stole the headlines when Jim Leyland was elected to the Hall of Fame on Sunday night.

The club’s third basemen slashed a collective .211/.294/.323 last season, good for a 72 wRC+ that was better than only that tied with the A’s for the second-worst offensive production from the position in the majors, beating out only the Mets.

The sample size was small, and of course pre-selected for the wisest and most knowledgeable fans of the Detroit Tigers fans by virtue of it being a Bless You Boys poll, but by and large opinions of manager AJ Hinch proved very positive in our recent polling.
