There wasn’t much offense to speak of on Saturday. Casey Mize and Keider Montero looked good, as did most of the Tigers pitchers. A Gleyber Torres RBI single was the different in this one as the Phillies managed just one hit on the day. The Tigers didn’t do all that much to improve their position

One very bad, no good inning sank the Detroit Tigers in their road matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday. Their record falls to 2-4, but hey it’s Spring Training so no one cares. The point is get into game shape, and key rotation member Reese Olson made his first start of spring camp

Two weeks into spring camp, the Detroit Tigers have managed to avoid any major injuries, but a pair of minor ones threaten to put them in a difficult spot to begin the season. Center fielder Parker Meadows continues to try and get his bicep issue resolved. Meanwhile, utilityman, and key part of the Tigers plan

I can’t be the only person, who while watching broadcasts, will mentally (and sometimes audibly) announce “former Tiger!” when an old friend pops up in an opposing team’s lineup. The thing about following baseball for years and years, 162 games a season, for much of your adult life, is that you get to know the

The Detroit Tigers’ spring training schedule kicked into high gear on Thursday afternoon with the team halving up for its first two-game split-squad date of the preseason. AJ Hinch’s crew managed to come away with both a tie and a loss, bringing their spring record to a 2-3-1 early on. One squad headed to Charlotte

The month of July will mark right-handed reliever Tanner Kohlhepp’s fourth year as a professional. Most fans of the Detroit Tigers don’t know his name, yet he’s one of those pitchers with such outlier stuff that if he finally overcomes the injuries and inconsistency to just a modest degree, he could be a household name

The major league pitchers were good for the Tigers in this one, but a couple of relievers in the system faltered as the Twins cruised to a 4-0 victory. The bats were not hot for the home team. They managed just a pair of singles, while Thayron Liranzo walked three times. There wasn’t too much

While the Detroit Tigers have become known as one of the top development teams for pitching over the last few years, no one has a perfect track record. Perhaps the most disappointing development in the system over the past two years has been the fall of right-hander Wilmer Flores. The Tigers signed Flores, younger brother

After taking an early lead, the Detroit Tigers bullpen struggled late to lose this one to the Baltimore Orioles. The Tigers fall to 2-1 in Grapefruit League action. Unacceptable. Ok, we’ve had our fun. The games don’t matter, but the players do. Jackson Jobe looked fine, topping out at 99 mph repeatedly, and showed off

The Detroit Tigers head out on the road today to meet the Baltimore Orioles for a 1:05 p.m. ET start time. Unfortunately there will be neither television nor radio broadcast. That’s pretty frustrating, as the Tigers rookie wunderkind, Jackson Jobe, will toe the bump in his first Grapefruit League start of the season. We would

The Detroit Tigers have another talented right-handed relief prospect lined up to help this season in the form of Tyler Mattison. The 25-year-old was slated as part of their plans last spring, but UCL reconstruction in March of 2024 short-circuited those plans. Now rehabbing in spring camp, Mattison has the potential to be a key

We’ll kick off the 40 future value tier with a relief prospect. You could put Tyler Owens anywhere in this tier, but the Tigers clearly like him and with minor improvements he’ll be very likely to get a shot at the major league bullpen this summer. So we’ll lead off the group with him for

Besides Tarik Skubal’s incredible season culminating in his first AL Cy Young award, no Detroit Tigers storyline received more coverage than “pitching chaos”. Despite losing Reese Olson and Casey Mize to injuries, and Jack Flaherty to the Dodgers at the trade deadline, Tigers’ pitching overwhelmed opponents during their march to the playoffs. Much of that

Once again, left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin has signed with the Detroit Tigers. This time it’s a minor league deal that will allow the club to evaluate him in camp without commitment. Should the Tigers add him to the active roster, the 34-year-old southpaw will earn $2.5 million plus another $1.5 million in incentives are available,

Joy! Happiness! Baseball is back! And while we are still in the “Spring Training games don’t count” portion of the season, it’s so delightful to see baseball happening! As a result of baseball being back, so is baseball news and there was quite a bit to go down last week, from some big changes by

The Detroit Tigers remained undefeated with a 4-0 victory over the New York Yankees on Sunday. Casey Mize’s first outing looked pretty solid, and Dillon Dingler’s scorched two-run homer in the fourth inning was the big difference maker in this one. Jace Jung added a pair of doubles and Colt Keith chipped in two hits

The Grapefruit League calendar started off with a nice throwback to the Detroit Tigers 2024 stretch drive on Saturday. They were in an early hole, but the bullpen shut down the Phillies and the Tigers farmhands forged a comeback that ended with a Justice Bigbie walkoff single. On Sunday, they’ll make their televised debut on

Detroit Tigers pitchers struggled to throw strikes for a while in this Grapefruit League season debut, and the Phillies took advantage to build a 6-0 lead. The bullpen then locked them down the rest of the game while the Tigers’ minor league hitters put together a comeback. In the end, Justice Bigbie was the hero,

The Detroit Tigers draft philosophy is has gone through some big changes since Scott Harris took over in late fall of 2022. The scouting leadership of VP Rob Metzler and director of amateur scouting, Mark Conner has favored a much more prep heavy approach and the early returns on their first two draft classes have

Baseball season comes one step closer today as the Detroit Tigers welcome in the Philadelphia Phillies for the first Grapefruit League matchup of the 2025 season.
