Fresh off a series win over the New York Yankees, the Detroit Tigers’ quest to reach the AL mountaintop appears to near its conclusion. At the moment, the Tigers are a half game behind the AL East leading Toronto Blue Jays for the AL’s top seed. At the moment, both teams would get a first-round bye in the playoffs. However, the Yankees aren’t too far behind both teams either. While Detroit appears to have the AL Central well in hand, they make a couple of roster moves ahead of their Friday series opener. Tigers beat writer Cody Stavenhagen shared the moves on X, formerly Twitter.
