The Detroit Tigers finished 76-86, placing fourth in the AL Central. We analyze Justin Verlander's emotional final start against the Pirates, where Jackson Jobe and Jack Flaherty lead the young rotation. Key players like Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene, and Jace Jung are evaluated for their role in 2027. The bullpen features Kenley Jansen and Kyle Finnegan, but defensive questions remain.

We discuss the upcoming offseason moves, including the infield competition between Colt Keith and Jace Jung, and the catching battle between Dillon Dingler and Thayron Liranzo. Core Julks faces pressure from Ben Malgeri. We also touch on the legal issues surrounding Zack Gelof and the metal fence at Comerica Park.
