Short read, seems like an incomplete list. Kenta Maeda status?
Sonny Gray is the big question for the next months...

Sonny had a huge impact on the TC rotation- famously challenging starters to pitch deeper into games- everybody bought in. He is a helluva pitcher, I seem to recall tho. He doesn't have great post season numbers.
Maybe Paddack? Wonder? Cantarino? Or Randy Do back is penciled in for Sonny's innings. It's hard to say.
A top priority beyond Sonny has to be 1st base.
I don't think Kiriloff is the answer. His defense and injury history do not inspire confidence.
I wonder? Can Buxton play 1st base? It's not a high injury position like the outfield is.
We shall see how it shakes out.
The path to success. The blueprint. Was written by Tom Kelly many years ago. Pitching & defense are priorities to build a champion. Hitting is a streaky thing. A team can always play small ball. Prioritize contact, taking your walks and score enough to win games if said team stops leading the league in strikeouts.
Unfortunately. The TK way seems to have been replaced by falvine analytics.
KC & Detroit are coming. Maybe 1 more year the TC can coast to a division win. Or? Maybe the tigers are a 90 win team in 2024.
