In order here are my biggest 2025 Tigers questions as of 3/18/25.
Will Kevin McGonigle play in the majors by July.
2. How long does it take Fetter to tweak Jobe so that he begins to miss bats.
3. Will Gleybor Torres concede and agree to try and play 3B for the good of the team.
4. Will Scott Harris admit he needs to cut Kenta Maeda.
5. How soon can Vierling and Parker get truly healthy and back to normal.
Everyone's favorite Marc Gorosh

I'm not sure how having Torres going to 3rd is good for the team? He's a terrible 2B I can't imagine how bad he'd be at a position he's never played before.

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

With the demotion of Jace Jung to Toledo, the Detroit Tigers are now without a regular 3Ber.
They attempted to sign Alex Bregman but were left empty. There were no other attempts to make a trade or sign a free agent for that position.

It was announced that Matt Vierling would be playing the hot corner for the majority of the time but then he got injured and there is no timetable for his return.
In all fairness, Scott Harris inherited no viable 3Bers when he came to Detroit. He was the first PoBO/GM in years to start drafting them.

Until Vierling’s return, the Tigers will use utility players Andy Ibanez and Zach McKinstry in the role with a “sprinkling” (Hinch quote) of Javy Baez who last played the hot corner in 2019.

What do you think of the search for a 3Ber? Could the Tigers have done more? Or was this just an example of the perfect storm of bad luck?

How have the Tigers handled the 3B situation?

1. Can't blame them. They are still trying to right the ship from previous Front Office.

2. Can't blame them. Couldn't anticipate Vierling's injury.

3. Could have done more. Should have had backup plan to Bregman offer. Bingo!!!!!

4. Could have done more. Should have seen concerns over Jung.

Keith can handle it, but they are putting extra pressure on him by moving him to 1B. I'm not sure any other position players are ready/have enough time in the minor leagues. I don't think Jobe is ready yet.

The Tigers are trying Javier Báez and Spencer Torkelson at different positions. Are they trying to increase the trade appeal of these players or delude themselves into thinking they could actually provide value? move to 38:25 for Tigers portion of the podcast.
