Who deserves blame for Detroit Tigers collapse in AL Central? Previewing must-win Guardians series

The Detroit Tigers lost all six games on their final homestand of the 2025 season, dropping their lead in the American League Central to one game. On "Days of Roar," Evan Petzold and Chris Brown ("Tigers Minor League Report") answer the big-picture question: Who deserves blame for this collapse — owner Christopher Ilitch, president of baseball operations Scott Harris, manager A.J. Hinch or the players? We also preview the upcoming three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians in a battle for the AL Central with postseason implications, including insight from Guardians beat writer Paul Hoynes. We dive into Colt Keith's injury, the decision to cut Charlie Morton and what playoff scenarios could await the Tigers.
