You can make the argument McGonigle, or at least the pick he was drafted with, was a consequence of the team's downturn. It was a competitive balance selection, which you get if you are revenue sharing recipient. The first several years of this system (after the first), the Tigers were revenue sharing payees. That started changing in 2019 when the revenue sharing formula caught up to their dropoff. I honestly have no idea if things will turn back in the coming years taking that pick away or not.
Anyways, the Tigers' competitive balance selections.
2013 (2nd round): Traded in the Infante/Sanchez/Turner trade. Received competitive balance 1st round pick (Corey Knebel)
2020 (2nd round): Danny Cabrera
2021 (1st round): Ty Madden
2022 (2nd Round): Traded with Isaac Paredes for Austin Meadows
2023 (1st round): Kevin McGonigle
2024 (2nd Round): Ethan Schiefelbein
2025 (1st round): Michael Oliveto
