    SPRING QUESTIONS: Biggest Concerns Heading into Spring Training Games

    Detroit Tigers charge into spring training with major position battles and unanswered questions. Can Colt Keith prove he's the solution at third base, and will the offense finally take a leap forward without any key new bats? Host Scott Bentley examines whether players like Parker Meadows and Wenceel Perez can hold onto starting roles and identifies pivotal spring metrics—think Riley Greene's strikeout rate and Kerry Carpenter's on-base skills—that could determine the team's early momentum. Bullpen depth and the closer mystery heat up as Kenley Jansen, Will Vest, and Kyle Finnegan prepare to anchor high-leverage innings. Scott Bentley spotlights Matt Vierling’s defensive fit, prospect watch alerts for Troy Melton and Ty Madden, and the ever-looming challenge at shortstop. As non-roster invitees vie for Oakland Day spots, will any dark horses emerge as Opening Day nears? The countdown to meaningful baseball in Detroit is on—don’t miss a beat.
