The Detroit Tigers are predicted to let infielder Gleyber Torres walk in free agency this offseason. This decision follows a disappointing 2026 season in which the Tigers did not qualify for the playoffs and traded away key pitchers. With young players Hao-Yu Lee and Max Anderson emerging as viable options to fill the second base position, the Tigers may opt for a younger roster and a more financially prudent approach. Torres, who will likely command a substantial contract, is seen as expendable given the potential of the team's prospects.
- •Tigers did not make playoffs in 2026.
- •Hao-Yu Lee and Max Anderson are potential replacements at second base.
- •Torres is 29 years old and considered a valuable but replaceable player.
- •Prediction suggests a shift toward youth in the Tigers' roster.
