First, the positives: there actually was a 2020 baseball season this year! Not long ago, labor disputes and the pandemic threatened to stop the season from ever happening. And once the year began, the Tigers were actually in the playoff hunt for over half of it! This team has plenty of faults, but for a good stretch, the idea of postseason play was actually within reach.
But perhaps the most encouraging part, however, was the organization’s willingness to call up top prospects. Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, Isaac Paredes, and Daz Cameron are reminders that the best is yet to come for this organization.
