ESPN’s MLB insider elaborates on the primary concern ahead for the Detroit Tigers in 2024.
ESPN’s MLB insider Buster Olney believes that the Detroit Tigers are poised for improvement in the upcoming 2024 season. However, he emphasizes that the team’s success hinges on the ongoing progress of their youthful core of position players. Speaking on ‘The Brady Farkas Show’ this week, Olney highlighted this crucial aspect, pointing out, “I would agree with you on the Tigers. The big question about them is what kind of offense do they get out of their young position players?”
Olney’s observation is astute, given that the Tigers will heavily rely on the development of talents such as outfielder Riley Greene and first baseman Spencer Torkelson. Additionally, the anticipated debut of top prospect Colt Keith adds to the intrigue surrounding the team’s offensive potential. Outfielder Parker Meadows also looms as a candidate for a breakout season.
While the Tigers would benefit from a resurgence from shortstop Javier Baez, indications from spring training suggest that such a turnaround may not be imminent.
