Detroit Tigers fans have seen the bullpen struggle mightily at times in 2017.
Just two relievers still on the team has a WAR north of 0.4.
Meanwhile, of the 16 different relievers Detroit has deployed this season, nine have turned in negative WAR numbers.
Only the Marlins, White Sox, Rangers and Twins’ bullpen units have a higher SIERA than the 4.61 number put cumulatively put forth by Detroit relief pitchers this season.
While Detroit will potentially be doing plenty of evaluating down the stretch to see if pitchers are part of the team’s future, the Tigers could use some veteran arms to help take pressure off the inexperienced hurlers.
