With the second-worst record in the majors, the rebuilding Tigers and their fans are looking toward the future.
They'll get a pretty good glimpse of it on a national stage next month.
Three Tigers prospects — right-hander Matt Manning, catcher Jake Rogers, and infielder Isaac Paredes — were named to the American League roster of the Futures Game on July 7 at Progressive Field in Cleveland, part of the All-Star Week festivities.
No other AL team had more prospects on the roster, unveiled Friday, matching the Tampa Bay Rays for the most. The San Diego Padres also have three on the National League team.
