Lately it’s been Jonathan Schoop and Eric Haase delivering the power, but you can only keep the big fella down so long. The Tigers needed some add-on runs for a tired bullpen after Tarik Skubal’s excellent outing on Saturday, and Miguel Cabrera delivered for them. In the top of the sixth inning, with the Tigers

Simple questions don’t always have simple answers as much as we’d prefer them. A possibly meaningless throwaway line in a mock draft released this week did spur this question: Are the Tigers looking at this upcoming third overall draft choice as a chance at a big hack at a home run selection or looking to…
Friday night was a rough one for Detroit Tigers fans as their team played a hard-fought match with the Chicago White Sox but came out on the losing end, 9-8. The defeat was not the worst part, however. Also lost was Spencer Turnbull, who left the game in the fourth inning with forearm tightness. The
The Detroit Tigers minor league system has seen some recent promotions across the board and a few of them made their impact on Friday night. In a bullpen start for Toledo, Ian Krol and Angel De Jesus, fresh from his call up from Erie, combined for four innings of scoreless relief, striking out five but…
The Tigers don’t hold the top pick in the 2021 MLB draft, but they’re still neatly positioned to pick up plenty of good amateur talent this summer. Detroit holds the 3rd, 32nd, and 39th picks in the draft, which combine for a tidy sum of $11,385,300 of slot value. In other words, if the team

If there’s one thing the city of Detroit prides itself in, it’s not ceasing under a bit of adversity, and the Detroit Tigers will look…
It was a dreadful night on the South side of Chicago as the Tigers lost again to the White Sox. Not only did their defense have a complete meltdown in the fifth inning, Spencer Turnbull left the game after 56 pitches with forearm tightness. The Tigers got on the board against Dallas Keuchel in the
Prior the the season, the team at MCB released our Detroit Tigers top 20 prospects list. Our plan is to update the list after the draft to give a better idea of the industry consensus on how each prospects relative value has changed. However, in the meantime, we now have about a month of additional…
Well we knew this would be difficult. The AL Central leading Chicago White Sox are a bit of a juggernaut these days, and the Tigers came into this four-game set lined up against a tough set of starting pitchers. They got a pretty good dose last night from Lance Lynn, though Casey Mize held his
Every Friday, I will be discussing a pitching “sleeper” for the Detroit Tigers in the upcoming 2021 MLB Draft. Today’s sleeper is a local kid out of Saginaw Heritage, Spencer Schwellenbach, who just won the Big Ten Baseball Player of the Year award and second-team All-American.
Memphis Redbirds 10, Toledo Mud Hens 6 (F/7)(Gm 1)(box) Matt Manning got absolutely clobbered again, and despite a strong performance from the offense, the Hens couldn’t overcome it. Manning allowed a single and a double to start the game on a bad footing, allowing one run before he’d thrown 10 pitches. He settled down from
While Casey Mize registered a quality start for the Detroit Tigers in the loss to the Chicago White Sox last night, Matt Manning struggled again for Toledo, Yariel Gonzalez continues to extend his hit streak to 16 games, and Spencer Torkelson and Dillon Dingler power the Whitecaps to victory.

Casey Mize took on a tough opponent in Chicago White Sox ace Lance Lynn, but two pitches he’d like back sunk them on a night where the Detroit Tigers’ offense was overpowered. The White Sox hit four solo home runs to take this one 4-1. Mize has had some troubles being a bit too aggressive

The Detroit Tigers announced on Thursday that outfielder Victor Reyes has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 2nd, with a left intercostal strain. In his spot, the Tigers have called up center fielder extraordinaire, Derek Hill. Reyes only returned from his demotion at the beginning of May. He appeared to pull
So far this year, Detroit Tigers’ minor leaguer Beau Brieske’s name has popped up with a few stellar performances. It’s not a name that most people may know considering the Detroit Tigers selected him in the 27th round out of Colorado State University Pueblo in the 2019 draft. Pitchers taken that late have to work
