The Detroit Tigers finished 76-86, placing 4th in the AL Central. We analyze their 22nd overall MLB ranking, focusing on Jackson Jobe's emergence alongside Jack Flaherty as Tarik Skubal heads to free agency. Key players include Spencer Torkelson, Colt Keith, and Riley Greene.

We discuss the impact of Justin Verlander's retirement, the Zack Gelof lawsuit regarding Comerica Park safety, and the new automated ball-strike system which overturned 54% of challenges. Our projections suggest an 82-80 finish in 2027 driven by young pitching depth.

Topics covered include the Jobe vs. Flaherty rotation duel, bullpen usage with Kenley Jansen, and outfield competition between Ben Malgeri and Corey Julks. We provide a realistic outlook for the Tigers' transition phase.
