Tigers general manager Al Avila answers questions during a press conference at Comerica Park in Detroit on July 5, 2019. 07052019 Alavila 1
I love the Detroit Tigers. Chances are if you are reading this article so do you. If you follow me on Twitter you know I despise tanking. Tanking is for losers and losing should never be rewarded. All the incentives for this scorched earth method employed by some teams who don’t mind making their fans suffer immensely with an ever-changing moving target of when it’s time to compete should be removed from the game.
The slash and take the profit model the Detroit Tigers and other teams have employed with varying success needs a Luke Skywalker taking on of The Death Star ending.
