The Tigers are still a competitive team who is looking to make the MLB playoffs in 2026.
With all of their injuries, one player they should look to add is Marcus Stroman.
The 35-year-old has spent the last two seasons playing for the New York Yankees (and is currently a free agent).
While Stroman struggled in 2025, going 3-2 with a 6.23 ERA, he has had a very strong career.
