UNANIMOUS? Will Tigers Star Kevin McGonigle WIN AL Rookie of the Year—Plus Draft IMPACTS and More

Detroit Tigers poised for an offseason shakeup as Kevin McGonigle’s historic rookie campaign positions the team for an extra first-round MLB Draft pick. Will this influx of young talent accelerate Detroit’s return to contention? Host Scott Bentley examines Rookie of the Year frontrunners, weighs the pros and cons of a Riley Greene extension, and questions a staggering Casey Mize free agency projection.

The episode breaks down Gold Glove finalist buzz for Dillon Dingler and Zach McKinstry, Arizona Fall League standout Zaire Hope’s Triple-A trajectory, and the implications of MLB owners proposing a shortened season amid looming CBA negotiations. Plus, Scott revisits the 20th anniversary of Magglio Ordóñez’s iconic ALCS walk-off, reminding Tigers fans of the magic yet to come.
