The relationship didn’t last long enough to get attached, but Detroit Tigers fans had some good times with right-hander Jack Flaherty in 2024. Of course, it didn’t hurt that Flaherty had perhaps the best four month stretch of his career under the watchful eyes of Tigers’ pitching coach Chris Fetter and his staff. Still, Flaherty

The Tigers are interested in adding a late-inning reliever who has experience as a closer, writes Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free-Press. Petzold identifies top unsigned reliever Carlos Estévez as one of a number of bullpen targets in whom the Tigers have shown interest. Spending on relief pitching has picked up this month. Estévez’s own market
Prospect list season continued on Wednesday as Baseball America weighed in with their top 100 ranking of the top young players in baseball. They aren’t quite as high on the Detroit Tigers’ farm system as Baseball Prospectus, leaving both Josue Briceño and Jace Jung off their list. However, the Tigers still grade out better than
When the Tigers took Spencer Torkelson with the first overall pick in 2020, Baseball America described him as “the safest pick at the top of the draft” and a potential “middle-of-the-order force,” à la Pete Alonso.

Former Detroit Tigers player Carlos Guillén — a three-time All-Star who played 14 MLB seasons — joins the “Days of Roar” podcast to discuss teammate Ichiro Suzuki joining the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Guillén also talks about three other names in the Hall of Fame conversation: C.C. Sabathia, Alex Rodriguez and
Spring training is now just a few weeks away but many free agents are still unsigned, with Alex Bregman arguably being the most notable. The Tigers are one club that have been connected to him but Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports that talks are “at a standstill.” At the start of the
The road from draft day to the major leagues is often long for catchers. Such was the case for Detroit Tigers backstop Dillon Dingler. A popular second round, 38th overall, selection back in the shortened 2020 draft, Dingler took years to slowly start to put things together offensively. Finally, after a major breakout with the
We’ve already covered Scott Harris’ best trade deadline acquisition with the Tigers with our fourth ranked prospect, catcher Thayron Liranzo. Infielder Hao-Yu Lee isn’t too far behind. After a strong second half in 2023 after coming over from the Phillies in the Michael Lorenzen trade with the Phillies, Lee backed it up with an excellent
Given the recent loss of baseball legend Bob Uecker, it’s only fitting that we look at his incredible performance as alcoholic announcer Harry Doyle in this classic baseball comedy. For those who have never seen the film, the hapless Cleveland Indians get a new owner when a conniving former showgirl inherits the franchise and then
The Tigers are re-signing veteran catcher Tomas Nido on a minor league contract, as first reported by Mike Mayer of Metsmerized. Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports that Nido would receive a $1.5MM base salary if he makes the big league roster. The ACES client will be a non-roster invitee in major league
Last week, I asked you to stretch your imaginations to the breaking point and pick any other MLB team you thought you might be able to be a fan of. I know, it was a mean question and not easy to answer. So this week we’re going to flip that question on its head. I
As several of the top free agents of the offseason linger on the market with spring training now under a month away, some have reportedly pivoted to consider short-term/opt-out laden contracts. Pete Alonso and the Mets are reportedly discussing a three-year arrangements with at least one opt-out. Both Anthony Santander and Jack Flaherty have recently
The start of Major League Baseball’s spring training season is right around the corner! With around five weeks remaining until the first exhibition pitch is thrown, it is time to take a look at the schedule that the Detroit Tigers will face in Florida now that the game times have been set. The Tigers will
Jace Jung entered the Tigers’ organization as a first round pick, but has largely been overshadowed throughout his time as a professional. That’s not necessarily his fault, as it’s tough to stand out as the pick sandwiched between Jackson Jobe and Max Clark. As an advanced college hitter, Jung was the first of the trio
January 15 marks the official opening of the international signing period. The majority of top talents have reached verbal agreements with teams months or years in advance, they’re allowed to formally put pen to paper to begin their affiliated careers.

The 2025 international signing period opened on Wednesday, and the Tigers quickly locked up their top target. Dominican outfielder Cris Rodriguez agreed to a signing bonus of $3.2 million.

A major top 100 preseason prospect list came out on Tuesday as Baseball Prospectus’ top 101 prospects for 2025 was released. We tend to place Baseball America, Baseball Prospectus, and FanGraphs above the rest of the national prospect rankings, although there are a few other good ones as well, including MLB Pipeline. Baseball Prospectus has
This episode of “Days of Roar” features two special guests: Detroit Tigers third baseman/outfielder Matt Vierling and Baseball America prospect insider Ben Badler.

Happy Monday BYB readers and welcome to the Week That Was. This past week things were a bit slower in the hot stove, as teams focused on cleaning up their outstanding arbitration issues (and one team was dealing with in-fighting and ownership lawsuits… more on that below).
