Tigers 2024-2025 Offseason: Trades, Free Agents, Call ups, Rule 5, tender, non-tender, Awards

Not a big fan of waiting until well after the WS to name award winners. I mean what gives? Nov. 20, way late. Should have named them before the WS began.
 
FAQ: What to know about Tigers' offseason.
Tigers official site

What are the key dates?
Nov. 3
: Last date to request waivers on Draft-excluded players until next spring.
Nov. 4: Deadline for teams and players to make decisions on contract options, for clubs to reinstate all players on the 60-day injured list (including Javier Báez, Sawyer Gipson-Long, Alex Faedo and Brendan White) and to tender qualifying offers. Also, the “quiet period” ends and Major League free agents are free to sign with any club as of 5 p.m. ET. Minor League players become free agents at 5 p.m. ET, if applicable.
Nov. 4-7: GM Meetings in San Antonio, Texas. This is where groundwork is often laid on trades and free-agent signings.
Nov. 19: The deadline to add players to the 40-man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft is 6 p.m. ET.
Nov. 22: Tender deadline. By 8 p.m. ET, teams must formally tender contracts to unsigned players for the following season, including their arbitration-eligible players. If a player is non-tendered, they immediately become a free agent.
Dec. 9-11: Winter Meetings in Dallas, including the MLB Draft Lottery (Tigers aren’t eligible this year as a playoff team) on Dec. 10 and the Rule 5 Draft on Dec. 11.
Dec. 15: End of the 2024 international signing period.
Jan. 10, 2025: Eligible players and their teams exchange arbitration figures.
Jan. 15, 2025: Start of the new international signing period.
 
The Tigers have a key decision on the catcher position this offseason.
Jake Rogers is established as the starter, but Dillon Dingler didn’t get much chance to establish himself as the backup.
