The main weakness in an otherwise strong Detroit Tigers prospect pipeline, is the struggle to land quality talent in the high rounds beyond the first.

There was a baseball game played in Cleveland tonight, and the Detroit Tigers did not win it. A rough night to say the least, the Indians broke out for a 11-3 victory thanks to five mammoth home runs. Meanwhile, the bats of the Tigers can’t seem to figure out how to turn the parking break
Fears about Julio Teheran were confirmed on Saturday, as the Detroit Tigers placed the veteran starting pitcher on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 7, with what is described as a right shoulder strain.

We’re back with a look at a whole lot of fun action from the Tigers and around the league, from MLB’s opening week. We’ll start with Tigers talk. Miggy in the snow. The legend of Akil Baddoo. A pretty good first six outings for the rotation. Matthew Boyd off to a good start. Michael Fulmer
The Detroit Tigers Weekly Draft Report has reached the halfway point of the college baseball season. This week’s report is a bit late, as last weekend’s games were spread from Thursday to Monday because of holidays and poor weather.
If you’d told us Matthew Boyd and the Tigers pen would hold the Minnesota Twins’ high powered offense to three runs, we would have liked our chances. Unfortunately, the Tigers ran into two outs at home plate that cost them, and they lost 3-2. Their record stands at .500 through the first two series of
Day three of Operation: Stop Nelson Cruz is a go. Sure, day one may have been a complete failure, but some Akil Baddoo magic made day two of the operation a success. It’s a difficult operation, should you choose to accept it. The Twins in general are tough, favored by many to win the AL
