The Detroit Tigers are looking to be World Series contenders in 2026, in what looks to be Tarik Skubal's final year in Detroit. To make the most of one of the best pitchers in baseball being on the roster, the Tigers need all of the help they can get, especially in the lineup. That's why they cannot afford to be too picky with who's starting this year.

They simply need to win now. ESPN's Buster Olney predicted that, "sooner rather than later," the Tigers will bring top prospect Kevin McGonigle in the middle of a . 990 OPS spring training, to the Majors to be an instant-impact player for the Tigers this season.

Tigers predicted to call up Kevin McGonigle to MLB roster soon "Kevin McGonigle could play a big role in Detroit this year," Olney writes. "... whether McGonigle opens the season with the tigers or is held back in the minor leagues a couple of weeks - which would delay his free agency by a year - he figures to help Detroit in the big leagues sooner rather than later.
