If the Tigers are going to pull off any huge trades this offseason (that don’t involve Tarik Skubal), it’s likely that they’ll be almost entirely dependent on prospects. They have one of the best farm systems in baseball, and they have a handful of major league-ready players who don’t have a clear path to the majors in Detroit.<\/p>\n
When it comes to the actual major leaguers, there aren’t a ton of options. If we take Skubal off the table, you could look at Reese Olson, but he’s been injured a lot in his short career. Riley Greene should be untouchable. Kerry Carpenter doesn’t have quite as much value yet; he still needs to break out of his platoon role and\/or improve his defense. Dillon Dingler’s not going anywhere<\/a>, and neither is Colt Keith, who has a team-friendly contract but was extended to be the face of Detroit’s new generation.<\/p>\n But the more ancillary players \u2014 Wenceel P\u00e9rez, Justyn-Henry Malloy, Parker Meadows, Jace Jung, and Trey Sweeney \u2014 are not going to pull a lot of weight in a trade.<\/p>\n Spencer Torkelson could, though. No one would’ve bet on Torkelson to have the bounce back year he did in 2025, but he arguably should’ve been an All-Star<\/a> and could definitely have some power in a trade.<\/p>\n Spencer Torkelson could be the Tigers’ most tradable player after resurgent 2025 season<\/p>\n
