One area of weakness during Detroit Tigers general manager, Al Avila’s tenure has been the lack of good trades.

Yesterday we looked at some of the worst drafts in Detroit Tigers history. But today marks the beginning of the Year of the Tiger, so let’s focus on some good Detroit Tigers history. The previous article was inspired in part by the troubling outlook for Detroit’s 2017 draft haul, but things are looking much…
Major league baseball players and owners met on Tuesday to discuss core economics, with players making small tweaks to their earlier proposals. The session lasted 90 minutes and discussions were said to be “heated” according to Evan Drellich of The Athletic. After owners made small adjustments to their previous proposals in the last meeting, players
The Tigers had themselves one heck of a year in 1907. Not only did they establish a rowdy, fun core of players who were engaging for fans; in Hughie Jennings they finally found a manager who could deal with owner Frank Navin and stick around for the long haul. Jennings was about to usher in

Junior college baseball has begun, high school showcases like the Super 60 are around the corner, and college baseball starts in fewer than three weeks.

In the weeks prior to the 2021 MLB amateur draft, University of Texas starting pitcher Ty Madden appeared to be one of the top five pitching prospects available in the whole draft. However, on MLB team boards he was slipping down all the way out of the first round as the draft approached in July.
The calendar is creeping toward February, which means we are mere weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training for the Detroit Tigers! What’s that you say? A lockout? It’s true, members of the Detroit Tigers 40-man roster will not be reporting to Lakeland with a lockout in place. But the Tigers are…
With spring training approximately one month from getting underway and the Tigers having done most of their off-season shopping barring any minor post-lockout moves, I thought now is a good time to take a shot at predicting the 2022 Detroit Tigers opening day lineup when they take on the Seattle Mariners in a couple of…
(Editor’s note: This is all fiction. With the lockout and all, Allen wanted to show his respect to Detroit Tigers legends while bringing to attention his love for wrestling. There is no malice behind this piece, rather, just having fun with combining sports entertainment and baseball-Rogelio)
First and foremost, thank you for everyone who has been checking out the 2nd annual Motor City Detroit Tigers Top 20 prospect list. Each person put out a list of their Top 20 and, thanks to Chris Brown’s magic, that is how our rankings were determined.
As you may have read a little while ago, I did a recap on the (in)famous Game 163 from the 2009 season, with the Twins besting the Tigers in 12 innings to capture the American League Central title. The reaction to it, on various media platforms, was, shall we say, mixed. I’d say it was
Things took a bit of a downward turn for the Tigers in 1906, and while they weren’t the worst team in the American League, they struggled with injury as well as plenty of internal strife thanks to manager Bill Armour. While the club ended the season with a sub-.500 record. Never fear, though, things were

If I told you there was a situation in baseball where no one could agree on how things should be handled, everyone was constantly mad about it, no one felt justly rewarded, and every participant had opinions on how to improve things, you’d probably think I was talking about the MLB/MLBPA labor dispute. You’re not
After two consecutive days of negotiations- a two hour meeting on Monday when players made proposals and another hour on Tuesday when the owners countered- the good news is that at least the two sides are talking. That’s something that didn’t happen for 43 days following the owners’ lockout imposed on December 2, 2021. In
