In the wake of the shutdown of professional sports, Tigers fans have been forced to get their fix of baseball content in the form of MLB draft news and rumors. It’s a small consolation prize that Detroit is in a fantastic position to score on a lot of premium talent – they have the second largest bonus pool, an extra pick in Competitive Balance Round B, and most importantly, are perched atop the draft order with the first overall pick.
That position in the 2020 draft is a dubious honor; they won it by losing 114 games of the 2019 schedule.
