Once again, the Detroit Tigers seem to get up for series against the better teams in the game. After Friday night’s convincing victory, they hold a 31-30 record against teams with a winning record, which is pretty encouraging. They’ll look to secure another series victory on Saturday night, and they should have the advantage in

There are big “what-if’s” in sports–what if Derek Jeter got drafted by the Houston Astros? Or, what if Michael Jordan never retired? What if the Detroit Pistons took Carmelo Anthony or Chris Bosh or Dwayne Wade in the 2003 draft? It may not be the same magnitude as these franchise-altering decisions, but I cannot help…
This hasn’t been a good week for the Detroit Tigers in terms of injuries. Other teams have greater cause for complaint, but the Tigers now have two notable pieces in their 2022 plans out for the long haul in Spencer Turnbull and Jake Rogers. The young Tigers’ backstop underwent UCL replacement on Wednesday, and is
On a night that started on a real down note as Matthew Boyd was scratched with ongoing elbow trouble, Tyler Alexander gave the Detroit Tigers a heck of a spot start and an explosion of home run power in the late innings carried the Tigers over the Rays. Much credit is due to Alexander in

If there was one team that clubs would be wanting to avoid as the season winds down it would be the AL-leading Tampa Bay Rays. Despite competing against three other playoff hopefuls, the Rays have a huge lead in the AL East and are clearly the ones to beat in October. Although the team from
One request I have for when Verlander starts discussing retirement is to offer him a one-day contract so that he can end his career wearing a Detroit Tigers uniform. Few have done this before, but one player that stands out to me is Roy “Doc” Halladay.
Iowa Cubs 5, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) The Cubs jumped on Nivaldo Rodriguez for a four-run first inning, and Cory Abbott dominated the Hens lineup on Thursday. A Ryan Kreidler throwing error allowed the Cubs first runner to reach base in the first inning, but Rodriguez allowed two home runs in the inning, so
Toledo Mud Hens 7, Iowa Cubs 5 (box) The Mud Hens’ offense stormed back late to down the Cubs on Wednesday. Pedro Payano got the start and leaked a few early runs before settling in a bit. The Hens finally got on the board in the sixth on back-to-back doubles from Riley Greene and Isaac
Wednesday’s news of Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers going under the knife for Tommy John Surgery was disheartening to be sure but probably not shocking. Rogers had been out for some time with an arm ailment and not much positive news was leaking out.
Big nights at the plate from Miguel Cabrera and Robbie Grossman powered the Tigers to a win in Pittsburgh, avoiding the series sweep with a 5-1 victory on Wednesday night. Matt Manning got the start in this one, and it was a good one, if abbreviated. After a leadoff single from Ke’Bryan Hayes, Manning got
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch was a guest on MLB Network Radio yesterday morning, and when the subject turned to Spencer Torkelson, Hinch said what everyone already suspected: The experiment at third base was cute, and Spencer Torkelson was passable there. But he has now played 21 games in Toledo, and 20 of them have…
Toledo Mud Hens 8, Iowa Cubs 2 (box) Logan Shore pitched a really good game and the Hens big bats brought the thump as they took it to the Cubs on Tuesday night. Shore allowed one run across six innings of work with seven punchouts. Spencer Torkelson unlocked a 1-1 tie in the third when
A night of lots of traffic and little run scoring was the theme in Pittsburgh as the Tigers took on the Pirates in the second of a three game series. This was not a very eventful game outside of a few plays as both teams seemed to play a big game of chicken to see

The Toledo Mud Hens have the deepest collection of Detroit Tigers prospects right now, and they also happened to play the most pivotal series of any team in the system last week, so that’s an easy place to start.
We don’t often consider extensions to Detroit Tigers players. Nick Castellanos was the last Tiger who really deserved serious consideration, but these are different times for the organization, with several different decision-makers holding the keys. And there are very good reasons why the Tigers may consider trying to convince third baseman Jeimer Candelario to sign
The Tigers were down early, roared back, and then watched the game slip away in a rough seventh inning as the Pirates took game one by a score of 6-3 on Monday. Tarik Skubal got the start, but as with Casey Mize, these are going to be short outings the rest of the way as

Toledo Mud Hens 11, Omaha Storm Chasers 10 (box) It was a rough Sunday for Hens’ pitching, but the offense came through with seven home runs to overpower the Storm Chasers. Leading the way were Riley Greene and Kody Clemens, who each homered twice. Spencer Torkelson got in on the action, as did Josh Lester
