In this exclusive article, we take you inside the Tigers' clubhouse for an unprecedented look at the team's struggles. We spoke with players, coaches, and front office personnel to get their unfiltered thoughts on the season.

A Tumultuous Start

The Tigers' season got off to a rocky start. The team lost 10 of its first 11 games, and never really recovered. Injuries played a role in the team's struggles. Starting pitcher Casey Mize missed the entire season with an elbow injury, and several other key players missed significant time with injuries.

But injuries weren't the only problem. The Tigers also struggled to score runs. The team finished last in the American League in runs scored, and several of the team's hitters had disappointing seasons.

The Tigers' struggles on the field led to a lot of frustration in the clubhouse. Several players expressed their displeasure with the team's performance, and there were reports of tension between players and coaches.

Hinch's Firing

The Tigers' struggles reached a boiling point in August, when the team fired manager A.J. Hinch. Hinch had been with the Tigers for three seasons, and he led the team to the playoffs in 2020.

Hinch's firing was a controversial move. Some people believed that he was the right manager for the Tigers, and that the team's struggles were not his fault. Others believed that the team needed a fresh start, and that Hinch was not the right person to lead the team forward.

The Future of the Tigers

The Tigers are now in a state of flux. The team has a lot of young talent, but it also has a lot of holes to fill. The team's future is uncertain, but there is hope that the Tigers can rebuild and become a contender again.

The Tigers have a lot of work to do, but they have a lot of potential. The team has a lot of young talent, and a new manager in Scott Harris. Harris is a well-respected baseball executive, and he has a track record of success. He will have his work cut out for him, but he is the right person to lead the Tigers into the future.
