Detroit Tigers prioritize pitching as GM Jeff Greenberg outlines the club's winter strategy. With Tarek Skubal coming off back-to-back Cy Young seasons, will Detroit secure their ace with a long-term extension or make bold roster moves? Intrigue builds around Scott Boras’s cryptic comments and Skubal’s future, while the front office eyes significant upgrades both on the mound and in the bullpen as free agency heats up.

Scott Bentley dissects the pivotal Rule 5 protection and non-tender deadlines, spotlighting Trey Sweeney’s uncertain role after a disappointing year. Key topics include the Tigers' need for offensive reinforcements, upcoming qualifying offer decisions for Gleyber Torres, and historical comparisons for Detroit’s all-time greatest pitchers—Verlander, Morris, Lolich, McLain, and Newhouser. Can the Tigers’ front office balance long-term planning with immediate competitiveness before Winter Meetings begin?
