The next few weeks won’t be easy ones for the Tigers, and that all starts with a road trip to St. Petersburg to play a weekend series against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Currently the Rays are on pace to make it to the postseason in one of the AL Wild Card spots (they trail the AL East-leading Yankees by 10 games), and they managed to have all this success without spending a ton of money.
We asked Ian Malinowski of our sister site DRaysBay about what it’s like to see a small market team do so well without breaking the bank, and how former Tigers prospect Avisail Garcia is doing these days.
