The Detroit Tigers turned in a 5-2 record this week, winning series against the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins, with three of the five victories coming by just one run. On "Days of Roar," Evan Petzold and guest co-host Chris Brown from "Tigers Minor League Report" break down what the seven-game road trip means for the American League Central, plus where the Tigers stand in the postseason picture. The Big 2: Should the Tigers promote top prospect Kevin McGonigle in 2025? How are the Tigers managing their below-average bullpen with a series-by-series approach? Dan Hayes, the Twins beat writer for The Athletic, joins the show to discuss the fire sale at the trade deadline, the ownership situation and the long-term outlook. We also take a closer look at the minor leaguers who could help the Tigers down the stretch, including left-handed reliever Drew Sommers, and we evaluate the upside for Troy Melton.
