Could the Detroit Tigers Be Quietly Poised to Dominate the American League?

The consistent performance from Detroit’s starters hasn’t stopped the bullpen from continuing to shine this season. En route to the postseason in ‘24, the bullpen was counted on at least as much as the rotation, as the Tigers relied on bullpen games and “pitching chaos” to supplement their lack of starting depth, with manager AJ Hinch mixing and matching his way to the ALDS.
There might not be as much weight on the bullpen this season, but so far in 2025, new closer Tommy Kahnle and returning arms Will Vest, Tyler Holton and Brenan Hanifee have been as consistent as any relief core in the sport. Detroit ranks fourth in MLB with a 2.79 bullpen ERA, with the relievers matching the high-level production now coming out of the starting rotation.
