Every single one of the Tigers' minor league affiliates from Single- to Triple-A have put up winning records this season, but none are doing it as well as the High-A West Michigan Whitecaps. All of the Tigers' top three prospects — Kevin McGonigle, Max Clark, and Josue Briceño — started their seasons in High-A before being jointly promoted to Double-A on July 7. The Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens have the best second-half record in the International League West, the Double-A Erie SeaWolves have the second-best record in the Eastern League, and the Single-A Lakeland Flying Tigers have the best record in Florida State League West. Tigers' minor league dominance could help them extend or re-sign Tarik SkubalGuys like McGonigle, Clark, and Briceño could be competing for Opening Day spots in spring training this season, and they're far from the only ones. But the Tigers still have a chance to keep him and ensure that they're developing talent around him.
