Detroit — We shouldn’t even be having this conversation. It doesn’t seem right, or real. But, because the Tigers reside in baseball’s ugliest division, we’re forced to play along.

It was a big opportunity for Gania, who has spotted in for
The Tigers have released Jonathan Schoop, according to the transaction tracker at MLB.com. Once he clears release waivers, he’ll be a free agent.

Cincinnati held out some mild hope that one of those
In early November of 2022, Scott Harris kicked off his rebuild of the Detroit Tiger’s roster by outrighting 6 players. None of the players cut from the 40-man roster came as a surprise, with Victor Reyes and Bryan Garcia perhaps being the most notable of the bunch but all were widely considered expendable. But in
Big-league baseball’s cruelty says we should wait, probably a long time, before deciding whether a MLB Draft has been good or not to a particular team. No need here to wait on the Tigers’ picks from Sunday through Tuesday. They got multiple Comerica Park players from their 21 turns that began Sunday evening and stretched
The 2023 MLB draft is finally in the books, and the Detroit Tigers selected 21 players in total. We’ve already covered the first half of those picks, but 10 more selections came in on Tuesday as the draft finished up. Before we talk a look at each of the players, it’s important to note the
