There are 15 days until Detroit Tigers pitchers and catchers report to spring training in Lakeland, Florida. On "Days of Roar," Evan Petzold and Chris Brown react to the Tigers signing outfielder Corey Julks to a minor-league contract, evaluating if Julks could unseat Jahmai Jones as the right-handed-hitting outfielder who thrives against left-handed pitching. Evan and Chris debate whether targeting mid-tier starting pitchers in free agency is the best strategy for the Tigers — and who belongs on that list beyond Chris Bassitt, then Chris takes a deep dive into the Tigers' four consensus top-100 prospects: Kevin McGonigle, Max Clark, Bryce Rainer and Josue Briceño, plus who might be the next prospect from the Tigers to join them. Former Tigers catcher/third baseman Brandon Inge joins the show for a 30-minute interview, discussing the opening of his Inge Performance Lab, the Hall of Fame electees (Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones) and memories from his Tigers career. Evan and Chris also take a listener question about when McGonigle and Clark could join the Tigers for their MLB debuts.
