3 Ways the Detroit Tigers offseason could turn spooky

1. The Detroit Tigers trade Riley Greene

Put down the pitchforks, folks. I don’t think it happens–but trading your rising star would be a surefire way for Scott Harris to create some enemies among the fanbase. Greene was a breath of fresh air upon returning to the lineup from a foot injury, and his play in center field surprised even those who have watched him during his minor league days.

He improved throughout the season and was always a tough at-bat, even if the strikeout numbers suggest otherwise. His willingness to go deep into counts, battle, and make adjustments throughout the game is a trait that was lacking throughout the lineup in 2022.

I’m a big proponent of the idea that nobody is ‘untradeable.’ There are deals that everyone would make for Riley Greene in a heartbeat–and as painful as it would be to see him go, the return in a lopsided trade would be well worth it. That said, it’s difficult to see a team ponying up for such a player, and seeing Greene in a different uniform would undoubtedly meet the ‘spooky’ criteria.
