The 2021 regular season enters the home stretch today, and whatever comes the rest of the way, it’s been a very successful year for the Detroit Tigers. Four consecutive months of the best baseball the organization has produced in at least a half decade has us all feeling a lot more optimistic about the club’s future. So does the ongoing progress of Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson.
An interesting part of this process, is that many of us have rapidly become accustomed to a much better brand of baseball this year. Over the past couple weeks, the news has centered around Miguel Cabrera’s chase for 500 home runs, the extension to Jonathan Schoop, and, on Tuesday, the reshaping of the front office.
