The Detroit Tigers have a crucial offseason ahead of them, as last year’s additions fell short of expectations. A team with a roster good enough to compete but still needing important additions is going to look different than it has…
Clay Snowden argues that the Detroit Tigers must establish a clear plan for Kerry Carpenter ahead of the 2027 season, suggesting a trade might be the best path forward.

Snowden highlights roster overlap with fellow left-handed platoon hitters Colt Keith and prospect Josue Briceno. Because Carpenter enters his second year of arbitration and is projected to earn $4 million to $5 million, Snowden suggests Detroit could trade him to acquire defensive upgrades or bullpen help.
