The Detroit Tigers, entering 2026 under president Scott Harris and manager A.J. Hinch, aim for an American League Central championship and a deeper postseason run. They should prioritize signing veteran George Springer for leadership, especially given his past connection with Hinch and strong performance. Additionally, extending top prospect Kevin McGonigle with a long-term deal would align the Tigers with forward-thinking teams, securing their rising star before he turns 22. These strategic moves could bolster the Tigers’ competitiveness in the upcoming season.
