The optimistic take is that the Tigers have been in just about every game without much if any offensive contribution from a guy who hit 31 HRs last year.

Jackson Jobe wins Rookie of the Year

He may be one of the least appreciated (by fans) power-hitting Tiger of all time.

On who? Few position players available. Hopefully they will add a premier pitcher if Erod opts out and another Lorenzo type.

No offense but I'm looking forward to when the Farm System reports are no longer the highlight of the day.

Two games over .500 since the break. Two games under since starting the year 2-9. How the heck they managed to be respectable despite the 29th worst offense in MLB is remarkable.

He's also been trying to trade Skubal for a couple of years now.

Well the Tigers did move up from 30th to 29th in runs scored. Progress?

The Tigers were conservative with Malloy and Keith this year, at least compared to the rest of the league. Of the top 50 hitters (based on OPS) in the IL, 19 were 24 years or younger. Of those 19 only 3 remained in the minors all year: Johathon Rodriguez (23 years old) from Cleveland and Malloy and Keith. There really is no reason that both should not be on the MLB roster at the beginning of 2024.

Who thought the Tigers would still be mathematically in it into September 22?

I think Jobe has a strong chance to be that guy.

Dombrowski is probably smiling.

And for Daniel Norris

Jung is starting to really intrigue. Read somewhere that his defense is acceptable at 2B. Could be the answer there.

He’s 26. If he hasn’t figured it out by now unlikely he ever will.
