Kenley Jansen believes Tigers can compete for AL Central title

Kenley Jansen expressed confidence in the Detroit Tigers' ability to contend for the AL Central title despite the recent trade of pitchers Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize. With Detroit winning eight of its last ten games, they sit just 2.5 games behind the division leaders. Jansen emphasized the importance of finishing strong, citing the team's strong offensive lineup and improved defense as key factors for their playoff hopes. The Tigers' bullpen must also perform better, according to Jansen, as they compete against division rivals in the final stretch of the season. A series of upcoming games against AL Central opponents may provide Detroit opportunities to control their fate.
