RUMORS: Detroit Tigers Eye Ryan Helsley as Starter—Does This MOVE Make Sense for the Rotation?

Detroit Tigers target ex-Mets reliever Ryan Helsley as a surprise starting pitcher candidate. Is this high-velocity experiment the key to revamping Detroit’s rotation, or a risky gamble with a struggling arm? Scott Bentley breaks down the Tigers’ non-tender moves, including Andy Ibáñez’s departure, and discusses arbitration updates for Matt Vierling, Jake Rogers, and Bo Brieske. The conversation highlights questions surrounding Helsley’s fit, Detroit’s thin bullpen, and the strategic outlook for their pitching staff. League-wide, Scott Bentley analyzes Adolis García’s shocking non-tender, Taylor Ward’s trade to the Orioles for Grayson Rodriguez, and whether the Rangers’ core is unraveling. Are the Tigers making the right moves to compete, or will unconventional pitching bets backfire as the offseason heats up? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
