■ Significant losses: OF Cameron Maybin, C Jarrod Saltalamacchia

■ Clubhouse catalyst: DH Victor Martinez

■ The season is a success if: some semblance of an organizational direction comes into view. After finishing just shy of a playoff berth in 2016 with an expensive, veteran-laden team, the Tigers were rumored to be embarking on a major tear-down. But not only did they hang on to 1B Miguel Cabrera, SP Justin Verlander, 2B Ian Kinsler and RF J.D. Martinez in hopes of making another run, they did almost nothing to bolster the roster — a curious, middle-ground strategy that could backfire if the Tigers get off to a slow start. There’s enough talent here to contend, but with a lineup that averages 30.2 years of age and a rotation that averages 29.2, the Tigers can’t put off their day of reckoning forever.
