FIVE FOR FRIDAY

Holly Horning evaluates the Detroit Tigers' progress in developing a homegrown roster under President of Baseball Operations Scott Harris and owner Chris Ilitch. Entering year four of Harris's tenure, Horning examines potential core players who could form the team's future foundation, comparing the timeline to lengthy rebuilds by Milwaukee and Tampa Bay.

Horning identifies position players Max Clark, Dillon Dingler, Kevin McGonigle, and Eduardo Valencia, alongside pitchers Jackson Jobe, Troy Melton, Keider Montero, and Reese Olson as key homegrown candidates. However, Horning notes that neither five-player list could be fully completed because several key prospects remain in the minor leagues.
