Can you believe it?
It doesn't seem that long ago that the Tigers made their fourth consecutive postseason. But this year marks four years since the Tigers were last in the playoffs, and judging by back-to-back 98-loss seasons, nobody can say — at least not with a straight face — when the hell they'll be back.
But, as has become the norm in recent years, as first Dave Dombrowski and then Al Avila have peddled off the team's biggest names, several former Tigers will play October baseball in search of that Holy Grail, the World Series championship, which Justin Verlander won with the Astros a year ago, and just might do it again in 2018.
