On the surface, fixing the many things that ailed the 2022 Detroit Tigers offense seems a truly Herculean labor. New President of Baseball Ops, Scott Harris, isn’t a superhero, and we’re going to proceed from the notion that getting the club to the playoffs won’t be a one year project. Still, the Tigers’ 2022 record doesn’t mean that fans should have zero expectations for the 2023 season.
Certainly much is going to revolve around players Harris has inherited. If Spencer Torkelson, Javier Báez, Austin Meadows, and Riley Greene aren’t a much more potent force in the lineup next season, the Tigers are going to be dead in the water.
