UNCERTAIN: What Happens to Detroit Tigers Games If FanDuel Sports Network FAILS? Major IMPACT Looms
Detroit Tigers fans face uncertainty as FanDuel Sports Network teeters on the brink—will Tigers games soon disappear from television? Scott Bentley examines the future of Detroit Tigers broadcasts, drawing on Tony Paul’s Detroit News report about Main Street Sports Group’s financial troubles and the possible end of regional sports networks. Is a YES Network–style solution or team-branded streaming platform the answer, or will fans see more games on local channels like Fox 2?
Scott Bentley also breaks down the Tigers’ latest roster moves, including minor league deals for relievers Sean Gunther, Tyler Madison, and Jack Little, and what their potential impact could be amid continued bullpen questions. Discussion highlights include the record-setting trio of Kenley Jansen, Kyle Finnegan, and Will Vest—each with 20+ saves last season—and what that means for the bullpen’s hierarchy. The episode wraps with MLB trade chatter, Tarik Skubal’s contract situation, and reflections on the Tigers’ off-season trajectory.

Let MLB take over or Detroit Tigers organization. Heck, let them play on local TV. Channel 4 do it agian like the old days.
Great episode, Scott. Hope your holidays are good. I am going to suggest a NY’s resolution…dude, you are a pro, you are VERY good at your job, we all love listening to your analysis and passion for our Tigers…no more apologies and self-degradation! You have every right to talk with confidence. Looking forward to another year of Locked on Tigers!
