DEEPER DISCUSSIONS

The Detroit Tigers have been trying to assemble a starting rotation as part of their rebuild.  There are many new faces.

There have also been lots of injuries which have delayed plans and player development.

Detroit is expected to lose Eduardo Rodriguez to an opt-out clause.  Matthew Boyd just had Tommy John surgery and his contract expires in 3 months.  Michael Lorenzen is on a 1-year contract as well.

Spencer Turnbull has been on the 60-day IL and has 1 more year left until he becomes a free agent.  His agent is Scott Boras and it appears very clear that Turnbull will not be with the team beyond next year at the latest.

Here is the current list of potential starting pitchers who all have experience pitching in Detroit.

1.Beau Brieske

2. Alex Faedo

3. Matt Manning

4. Casey Mize

5. Reese Olson

6. Tarik Skubal

7. Joey Wentz

Which one of these pitchers do you believe has the best chance of being successful and sticking in the starting rotation for at least the next 2 seasons (through 2025 or longer)?
