The trade deadline is officially less than 48 hours from now, which means it’s time to ramp up our trade speculation. After Adam Frazier was traded earlier this week, Detroit Tigers infielder Jonathan Schoop is now one of the top second base options on the market, along with Eduardo Escobar and Whit Merrifield.

Like to see offense-heavy games? Like insanely high scores? How about one-hour innings? Well, this day game with the Twins had a little bit of all of that for your enjoyment. I’ll say this for the game today, both starting pitchers had relatively terrible outings, with not a ton of “relief” from their relief pitchers.
There were a few historical moments In the Detroit Tigers come from behind 6 to 5 victory over the Minnesota Twins. One was Miguel Cabrera passing Barry Bonds with hit number 2,936, which would help Detroit break a five-game losing streak.
This entire story was written. Done. Ready to publish and consume. Then it wasn’t — and instead of this recap being about a drab loss, it’s about the Detroit Tigers earning perhaps their gutsiest victory of the season, beating the Minnesota Twins 6-5 in 11 innings. After Jonathan Schoop was retired to lead off the
The Detroit Tigers are coming off a home stretch that saw some of their largest crowds since 2019 and got the city of Detroit excited about their beloved Tigers again. As the trade deadline nears and the dog days of August await, the club has had a rollercoaster ride of a season. It has been…
The Tigers arrived in the Twin cities hoping to put a halt to their three-game losing streak and a four-game string of losses in Minnesota. Detroit sent rookie Matt Manning to the mound to face the veteran Michael Pineda. Akil Baddoo led off the game for the Tigers with a double into the left-center field
The MLB trade deadline is looming and talk naturally turns to “buy or sell” all around baseball, including the Detroit Tigers. Perhaps given the events of this summer and talk of contract extensions by fans it’s better to ask, “ring or no ring for these players?”
Over the past month, Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila has made it quite clear that the club is done rebuilding. They won’t be dumping expiring contracts. They won’t be dealing away anyone not tied down. In short, we can probably expect a very quiet week until the trade deadline on Friday, July 30th. Of
It was a good run. After ripping off seven straight the Tigers went into Kansas City as excited as an Australian Olympic swimming coach. The bengal-striped Icarus that was Detroit baseball flew too close to the Kansas City sun and quickly returned to Earth ending up on the wrong end of a series sweep. Up
Things certainly haven’t gone the way they expected in the Twin Cities. They’re currently four and a half games behind the Detroit Tigers, and stuck in last place in the AL Central. A minor sell off is also underway that can only help the Tigers turn their road trip around after getting swept by the
Detroit Tigers rookie righthander Matt Manning has debuted in the major leagues, and put together several solid starts in the process. As we weren’t even necessarily expecting to see him in a Tigers uniform until after the All-Star break this year, the 2021 season hasn’t exactly gone badly for him. Still, things clearly haven’t gone
Toledo Mud Hens 7, Indianapolis Indians 3 (box) The Hens offense blew up Indy pitching on Sunday to take the series 4-2. And once again, it was Christin Stewart and Aderlin Rodriguez in the thick of things. Rodriguez has been a beast for the Hens all season, but Stewart has been red hot as well.
Ichiro Suzuki once mentioned his favourite English expression involved the description of how hot day games in Kansas City are. (There’s some bleeped NSFW language in that clip.) Well, today in KC was one of those days, and the Tigers certainly felt the heat as they got defeated 6-1, and thus swept by the Royals
Well folks, the Detroit Tigers came into the weekend roaring on a seven-game winning streak but have been reduced to a soft meow over the past two games in Kansas City. Both losses were close ones, with Friday’s night’s matchup ending with a 5-3 score while Saturday night’s tangle saw the Tigers blow a 6-0
The Tigers built a 6-0 lead only to blow it on Friday night in Kansas City. A pair of three-run shots powered the Royals to a 9-8 victory, and a chance at a series sweep on Sunday. Early on, the Tigers looked like they might run away with this one. The Royals didn’t get a
It has been a lot of fun being a Detroit Tigers fan in recent days, especially during the team’s seven-game winning streak coming out of the All-Star break gates. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end, and the aphorism proved true once again on Friday night when the Kansas City Royals handed the Motor
The 53-109 Detroit Tigers were abysmal in 1996, no question about it. This was Randy Smith’s first year at the helm as General Manager, with a new skipper in Buddy Bell, and also the beginning of the post-Lou Whitaker era.
The Tigers were probably due for a game like this. The squander returned with a bit of a vengeance, and one mistake from Wily Peralta put the Royals on top for good as they took the first game of the three game set 5-3. Wily Peralta and lefty Kris Bubic were both pretty good early
It’s safe to say that going into this season both Tigers and Royals fans alike thought the mid-season standings would look a little different than they do today. With the Tigers heading into a weekend series against the Royals, Detroit is fresh off a seven-game winning streak, while the Royals are 4-6 over their last
On the July 20th broadcast, Detroit Tigers General Manager Al Avila said a quote that made Tigers fans happy. “Right now, we have no pressure at all to make any trades,” Avila said. “We don’t have the type of high-salary, aging player that we need to trade to rebuild, per se. We’re on the upswing.…
