The 2025 season is over for the Detroit Tigers after a heartbreaking 15-inning loss to the Seattle Mariners in Game 5 of the ALDS, which eliminated the Tigers from the MLB postseason. The Tigers have been knocked out of the playoffs in Game 5 of the ALDS in each of the past two seasons. On “Days of Roar,” Evan Petzold and Chris Brown (“Tigers Minor League Report”) share takeaways from the Tigers’ postseason run and discuss the big offseason topic. What happened to the Tigers in Game 5 of the ALDS? Should the Tigers trade Tarik Skubal this offseason? We also react to what president of baseball operations Scott Harris and manager A.J. Hinch outlined during the end-of-season press conference, with Harris putting the blame on the offense. If the offense is the problem, then what’s the plan to fix the offense ahead of the 2026 season? We look into Hinch’s contract extension, plus what the Tigers need most in the offseason.
