How can they show faith in Tork when they are having Keith and Malloy taking grounders at first base?

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

The Detroit Tigers’ payroll has plummeted in recent years. Most of it due to the shedding of big contracts but also the significant influx of rookies who are making MLB minimum.
Currently, there are 13 players – half the roster – making the minimum salary.
Teams with the highest payrolls have the most expensive free agents and the most experienced players.
For the 2024 year, the Tigers had the #26/#27 lowest payroll at $104 mill.
The White Sox spent app. $30 mill more than the Tigers and ranked #18.
The Twins sit at #19 and spent $25 million more than Detroit.
The Royals ranked #20, having spent just #18 million more.
And finally, the Guardians’ payroll was just $1 million more than the Tigers. They came in at #23.
The Tigers sit in that final group of reknown cheap teams: The Marlins, Rays, Pirates and A’s.
But now the A’s just spent $67 mill on Luis Severino.
We know the Tigers need a bigger bat and 2 starting pitchers at minimum. But we also know they are planning on bringing up some top farm talent soon.
There are 8 players who earned raises/arbitration which will automatically bring payroll up.
And, of course, there are other factors that play into their 2025 plans: Tarik Skubal’s limited time before free agency and a goal of returning to the playoffs. Also that the Tigers are expected to be losing at least $60 mill/year in revenue due to the Diamond Sports bankruptcy.
Consider all of these factor listed above, including that the top payroll in the AL Central is $134 mill.
What is a realistic estimate of where the team’s payroll should be for the 2025 season?

What is a realistic estimate of where the team's payroll should be for the 2025 season?

1. $110 mill - $120 million

2. $121 mill - $130 million

3. $131 mill - $140 million

4. $141 mill - $150 million

they are sitting at an estimated $91M right now. The need one more pitcher. I would guess that the pitcher will cost $15-20M. I guess it depends what they really want to do to address the need for more RH hitting. Honestly, I don't think it would be wise to go big on an aging free agent at this point. My guess is they might get to $130M.

I think Harris said no more pitchers that they are good there.
 
The Miami Marlins today announced that the team has selected catcher Liam Hicks from the Detroit Tigers in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 draft.

With the 10th pick of the Rule 5 Draft, the Cubs select shortstop Gage Workman, No. 29 on the Tigers' Top 30 Prospects list.

18. Tigers take : Junior Tilien, SS (Mets High-A)

RHP Eiker Huizi and Josh Crouch got picked in the minor league portion of the Rule 5 draft.

24. Padres take : Eiker Huizi, RHP (Tigers High-A)

Round 2:
31. Angels take: Josh Crouch, C (Tigers Double-A)
 
As a corresponding move for the signing of RHP 37 year old Alex Cobb, The Tigeers have designated OF Akil Baddoo for assignment. The 40-man roster is now at 40.
