The Detroit Tigers enter the All-Star break with MLB's best record — but a bullpen problem looms large. On this week's episode of Days of Roar, Tigers beat writer Evan Petzold breaks down Detroit's first-half performance, including a season-worse sweep by the Seattle Mariners. If the Tigers want to win the World Series, adding an elite swing-and-miss reliever is essential. We discuss the big names on the trade market.

We also take a deep dive into the Tigers' high-risk, high-upside picks on Day 1 of the 2025 MLB Draft with draft expert Tyler Jennings from Just Baseball. Scott Bentley, the host of the Locked On Tigers podcast, returns to Days of Roar to discuss the top four draft picks, as well as Zach McKinstry and Casey Mize joining the All-Star Game as replacement players. 

Plus: Is Riley Greene already the third-best position player in the American League?
