Tigers explore options for 2026 MLB Draft picks

The Detroit Tigers are preparing for the 2026 MLB amateur draft happening next month. MLB Pipeline currently projects the Tigers to select outfielder Trevor Condon from Georgia with the 22nd overall pick, assuming he is available. However, Baseball America suggests the team may instead choose shortstop Aiden Ruiz at that spot if Condon is drafted earlier. Other potential candidates include third basemen Bo Lowrance and Cole Prosek, along with switch-hitting shortstop Aiden Ruiz. Various scouting opinions are emerging as the draft approaches, emphasizing teams' strategies in managing their selections and signing bonuses.
