The fine folks at BreakingT have done it again, this time celebrating the newest infield phenom for the Detroit Tigers: Javier Báez! Javy’s most well-known nickname, “El Mago” is one he has certainly earned with his dazzling defensive displays (forgive me, I love alliteration a bit too much sometimes). “El Mago” means “The Magician” in
Wednesday afternoon the Tigers announced that they had signed Javier Báez to lock down the shortstop position in Detroit for the foreseeable future. In a move that owner Chris Ilitch describes as a “turning point” for the franchise, El Mago was inked to a six-year, $140 million deal that includes an opt-out after two years.
Just as the most frantic free agent frenzy ever in Major League Baseball was going full speed ahead, everything now comes to a screeching halt as MLB owners voted unanimously to lockout the players as the collective bargaining agreement expired. And with the lockout came an end to 27 years of labor peace, and a
On Wednesday afternoon, the Detroit Tigers announced that they had signed veteran right-handed reliever Jacob Barnes to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training. This seems like a very good idea. The 31-year-old pitched for both the New York Mets and then the Toronto Blue Jays last season after a midseason trade.
Javier Báez is your new Detroit Tigers shortstop, and let’s just say our feelings about this are complicated. The six-year, $140 million deal should be finalized this evening, as Báez was reportedly in Lakeland today for his physical, the final step to wrapping and signing the contract prior to the 11:59 p.m. EDT deadline on
On November 30th, 2021 at 1:51 am, MLB insider Jon Morosi broke the news that shortstop Javier Báez and the Detroit Tigers have reached an agreement on a 6-year deal worth $140 million. Now, with the Tigers signing the shortstop everyone was waiting for, the question is who else should the Tigers target? I am…
The Detroit Tigers came into this offseason with huge question mark at shortstop, and early Tuesday morning they found their answer in the form of Javier Báez. It was just the latest big signing in what has been one of the most frenzied weeks of player movement in recent memory; the impending lockout like an…
If you follow the KBO League that exists in South Korea, the league ended last week with the KT Wiz winning the championship over the Doosan Bears, one of the original founding franchises of the KBO when it started in 1982. The Bears featured the league MVP Ariel Miranda, who has had an impressive run…
For seemingly the past year, all anyone has talked about was how the Detroit Tigers needed to find a shortstop. Al Avila has done just that, selecting Javier Baez over other (potentially more popular) options such as Carlos Correa, Trevor Story, and Marcus Semien. The former Cub and Met comes to the American League with
The Detroit Tigers and free agent shortstop Javier Báez agreed on a six-year contract worth $140 million on Tuesday morning, according to multiple reports, and the internet is already going wild. Tigers fans are all over the map, with some fans excited about the major upgrade Báez provides, while others (ourselves included a bit, I
Now and then we enjoy getting the pulse of the Detroit Tigers fanbase. Questions allow thought exercises that maybe we haven’t explored ourselves; and with a work-stoppage all-but-certain, what better time to see how fans are feeling?

Late on the wire, and early Tuesday morning, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reported that the Detroit Tigers were now close to signing free agent infielder Javier Báez. The club was known to be in talks with the long-time Cubs star over the weekend, but has not confirmed the report as of this writing. There
For the first time in a long time, the Detroit Tigers are mentioned in hot stove talks. When Danielle wrote her piece on left-hander Robbie Ray, it was a part of our “Contender November” series but in the back of our minds, the MCB staff didn’t think the Tigers were interested. Until now.
As of Sunday, the owners and the MLB Player’s Association still seem bound for a lockout of players and a total halt of transactions and activity at midnight on December 1. That’s a lot of pressure on one’s holiday shopping, and several teams went on a pre-emptive spree over the weekend. The biggest move came
Matthew Boyd’s 7-year tenure with the Detroit Tigers seems to be coming to end. On November 28th, Tigers beat writers announced that the club and Boyd have mutually agreed to let him test out the free-agent market.
Well, well, well, on Sunday afternoon, a somewhat tentative offseason for free agents suddenly cranked the hot stove to 11 as a host of players agreed to contracts. The Texas Rangers came out of nowhere to snatch Marcus Semien on a shocking seven-year deal, then added starting pitcher Jon Gray and outfielder Kole Calhoun. The
Chris Ilitch has the chance to reinvent himself as owner of the Detroit Tigers. It’s a position his father, Mike, was once in himself. All he has to do? Whatever it takes to get superstar shortstop Carlos Correa into the Olde English D.
The rival of all football rivals happened yesterday between Michigan and the Ohio State University. Lately, the tides of victory have favored Ohio State, winning eight in a row against the Wolverines until yesterday with Michigan winning for the first time since 2011, 42-27. For any Detroit Tigers fan in the state of Michigan, no…
