Why Tigers need to go big for 2025 after surprising playoff run with AL Central there for Detroit’s taking

The Detroit Tigers, coming off a successful playoff run in 2024, are facing a critical season in 2025. They have made some notable additions to their roster, but more moves are needed to compete in the American League Central. The team is heavily linked to top free agent Alex Bregman, who would significantly improve their lineup and defense. In addition, they need to address their starting rotation depth by potentially adding pitchers like Jack Flaherty or Max Scherzer. The Tigers have the financial resources to make these moves and should capitalize on their recent success to strengthen their team for the upcoming season. The Detroit Tigers are aiming to increase revenue by focusing on gate receipts, game-day revenues, and direct-to-consumer streaming subscriptions. Anticipating a boost in attendance due to their playoff run in 2024, the team is strategically investing in building fan enthusiasm and fielding a competitive team. Despite ranking 24th in home attendance last season, there is potential for significant growth, making it crucial for the Tigers to capitalize on the opportunity to re-engage with fans and optimize their business operations.
