Detroit Tigers infielder Kevin McGonigle continues his stellar rise by earning Baseball America's 2026 Rookie of the Year honors, praised for his all-around excellence at the major league level rather than one standout tool. Meanwhile, the Tigers have overhauled their coaching staff by firing Head Athletic Trainer Ryan Eubanks and Assistant Athletic Trainer Chris MacDonald following a season marred by an exceptional number of soft-tissue, non-contact injuries.
