Tigers News
The Detroit Tigers' 0-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox last night left a sour taste, further highlighting the struggles of a team now sitting at 18-20. With a staggering 14 players on the injured list, including the crucial Tarik Skubal, the feeling of urgency is palpable as the organization faces tough decisions about both current players and upcoming trades. On a more troubling note, the firing of Triple-A manager Gabe Alvarez due to a serious misconduct issue adds to the cloud of discontent hanging over the franchise. Amidst these challenges, the Tigers are also making roster moves, outright waiving Yoniel Curet and Zack Short, while losing Grant Holman to the Phillies. With the quality of their pitching and offense stagnating, fans are left wondering how long this downward trend can continue.
