## Resource

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch admits the team’s 66-79 record leaves a lot to be desired, but he’s focused on the future—especially rising rookie Kevin McGonigle, whose back-to-back homers and versatility make him a cornerstone of the rebuild. While younger players like McGonigle shine, veterans like Spencer Torkelson are seeing less time, though Hinch assures him he’s still part of the long-term plan. With multiple infielders vying for reps—including Colt Keith and Hao-Yu Lee—the coaching staff is juggling roles carefully. On the mound, Jackson Jobe is back from Tommy John surgery with promise but needs better command, while pitchers like Troy Melton and Framber Valdez are also being evaluated. Hinch acknowledges the team hasn’t been winning enough yet—but he’s confident in the foundation being built for a competitive future.
