Hello,

This will be the story of my Detroit Tigers save, a save I started back in July and, after 25 seasons played, I finally managed to give the city of Detroit its 5th World Series in Franchise history. Hopefully, as I update this in the future, this team will become a bigger dynasty and I'll be able to tell its tale.

So, despite missing the playoffs only 4 times since 2028, and making it to the World Series 4 times, what happened to make the wait so long ? Well, the first few seasons were rough. Limited by bad contracts and very hit or miss drafting, it took until 2026 to get back to .500 and 2028 to get back to the postseason. During that stretch, many of the young players you might know in real life came up to Detroit, such as Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson, Parker Meadows and Justin-Henry Malloy, and though they all became good, neither of them became a superstar, or a player good enough to call the face of the franchise. As 2028 was around the corner, a trade that could have seemed like a huge undersell (or overpay, depending on the POV), brought the Tigers its franchise cornerstone for the next 15 seasons [to be continued].
