Projecting the 2023 Detroit Tigers after the Gregory Soto trade
Orlando Ramirez-USA TODAY Sports Scott Harris probably still has small moves to make, but Steamer projections say this is probably a 73-74 win club in 2023. The 2022-2023 offseason isn’t over yet, but at this point it’s hard to believe the Detroit Tigers will make any more notable moves. There are still players available who could help this team, and it may be that new President Scott Harris simply doesn’t want to make any promises after a lukewarm response to his first offseason from the fanbase.

Matt Vierling could become a real weapon for the Tigers
Photo by Duane Burleson/ Scott Harris got a player to fill the role he needed, but managed to land substantial upside in the deal as well. As we learn growing up, sometimes things that are good for you don’t necessarily thrill in the moment. Last Saturday’s trade of Gregory Soto to the Philadelphia Phillies may feel like the equivalent of the Detroit Tigers making sure to eat their broccoli.

With the departures of Andrew Chafin and Soto, swingman Tyler Alexander suddenly represents the only major league proven left-handed option. A formerly strong bullpen has now lost four of its top relievers in the past year. Harris answered with a message hinting at an...
