## Resource

The Detroit Tigers stand at a pivotal moment, with their future hanging on ace Tarik Skubal—lights-out on the mound but facing looming trade rumors as teams like the Dodgers, Yankees, and Braves circle. Meanwhile, the youth movement is accelerating with the debut of top prospect Max Clark, a dynamic center fielder ready to lead the charge. Behind him, Riley Greene, Dillon Dingler, and rookie Kevin McGonigle are emerging as key pieces of a promising young core. The front office must decide: extend Skubal to compete now or trade him for prospects to build for tomorrow. This season may not be about playoffs, but it could be the foundation for Detroit’s next championship run. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
