The Detroit Tigers 2008 season is the team's 108th season. After being picked by many to win the Central DivisionFact|date=April 2008, the Tigers started the season a disappointing 0-7, being swept by the Kansas City Royals and Chicago White Sox. It was not until the Tigers' 80th game that the team reached a .500 record. Their first victory of the season came against the Boston Red Sox.

While being eliminated from the pennant race, on September 29, 2008, they nonetheless had to play a makeup game against the Chicago White Sox, which White Sox won 8 to 2. This game was necessary to complete the White Sox season, as a result of the White Sox being in second place half a game behind the first place Minnesota Twins at the end of the regular season. While the game was meaningless with regard to the Tigers' regular season, the White Sox victory forced a one game playoff between the White Sox and Twins for the championship of the American League Central Division. The winner of the White Sox-Twins playoff game will advance to the American League Division Series to face the Tampa Bay Rays, while the 2008 season would be over for the loser.

Offseason

The Tigers started the offseason by trading prospects Jair Jurrjens and Gorkys Hernandez to the Atlanta Braves for shortstop Edgar Rentería. Renteria will take over the everyday shortstop job with Carlos Guillén moving to first base.

Reliever Joel Zumaya underwent surgery October 31, 2007 for AC joint reconstruction and is expected to miss half the 2008 season [ [http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071101/SPORTS02/71101044/1048/SPORTS Zumaya expected to miss half of '08 season after shoulder surgery ] ] .

The Tigers continued their offseason trading by acquiring Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis from the Florida Marlins in exchange for highly-touted prospects Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller, along with Mike Rabelo, Eulogio De La Cruz, Burke Badenhop and Dallas Trahern. Willis would sign a three-year, 29-million dollar contract extension, while Cabrera would receive an eight-year, 152.3-million dollar deal, the biggest contract in Tigers history.

During the offseason, the Tigers re-signed Todd Jones, and Kenny Rogers to one-year contracts. They also signed free agent Francisco Cruceta from the Texas Rangers organization to a one-year contract.
