Tigers' Collapse Points to Offseason Changes | Detroit Tigers News

The Detroit Tigers’ playoff hopes are slipping as they keep blowing leads late in games—28 blown saves and 19 losses after leading in the 7th inning or later. Young pitcher Jackson Jobe shines, but the bullpen fails repeatedly. Closer Kenley Jansen, nearly 40 and fading, is a costly liability; keeping him would cost $11M with little return. First baseman Spencer Torkelson hasn’t delivered consistent offense or defense, and may be better off gone. Veteran pitchers like Jack Flaherty are inconsistent and injury-prone, while versatile players like Matt Vierling aren’t justifying their roster spots. The Tigers need bold moves this offseason to turn things around. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
