The Detroit Tigers are expected to have a dismal 2018 season. But, there’s one word you won’t find being associated with the 2018 Tigers-tanking. Tanking has been a contentious topic over the last couple months in baseball. The Marlins have shipped off every fan-favorite player to “save money”. The Rays reportedly are using a four-man rotation for the whole season.
Our counterparts over at SB Nation have argued that tanking isn’t bad for baseball. Former Tiger and current executive director of the MLBPA-Tony Clark has openly stated that the one-third of teams aren’t trying to win a World Series title this season.
