Riley Greene's rise to stardom at just 23 years old is making waves for the Detroit Tigers, who are eyeing a playoff run. With impressive stats including a .296 batting average, 21 home runs, and 69 RBIs, he has firmly established himself as a key player in the lineup. Despite his remarkable performance and All-Star selection, the Tigers have yet to discuss a contract extension with Greene's camp, raising concerns over his long-term future in Detroit.

As Greene's speed metrics show a decline and injury history raises eyebrows, the Tigers risk losing a cornerstone player if they wait too long. Failing to lock him up early could lead to costly negotiations later on or even the loss of Greene altogether. It's a pivotal moment for the organization to capitalize on his potential and ensure he remains a Tiger for years to come.
