Top Tigers prospects Kevin McGonigle, Max Clark, and Josue Briceno remain focused on development rather than immediate MLB promotion. The group has only played a few weeks at the Double-A level, with fewer than 30 games for some, so the organization is emphasizing reps and refinement. Both MLB Pipeline and Baseball America rank these players among baseball's best prospects, but limited Double-A experience tempers rushes to the majors. A promotion to Triple-A Toledo could be possible later in 2025, but substantial performance there and confidence in handling postseason pressure would be required before any major-league call-up.
" They've only been in Double-A for a month. It's been fewer than 30 games," the GM said. " Really excited with what Kevin has done, really excited with what Max has done, and some of the other guys in our system. But right now, the focus is on their development and getting the reps to continue to take those steps forward."
"MLB Pipeline and Baseball America each rank McGonigle as the second-best prospect in baseball, Clark ninth, and Briceno also in a prominent top-100 spot (Pipeline has him 32nd, BA 54th). As Greenberg noted, none of the group has much experience even at the Double-A level, though McGonigle and Clark have both been on fire at the plate since their call-up."
