Lakeland, Fla. – Who knows what’s in store for Beau Brieske this season? The talented, soon to be 25-year-old right-hander is likely to either make the club as a spot starter-long reliever in the bullpen or, depending on the health of the Tigers’ rotation, be starting every fifth day at Triple-A Toledo until his services
Lakeland, Fla. — If you want something bad enough, you chase it with all your might. That’s always been Alex Lange’s MO. He wanted to be a Friday-night starter at one of the elite college baseball programs in the country, and as a freshman in 2015, he went 12-0 in 17 starts at LSU. He
DETROIT — Stanford Wilkinson, who was born in Detroit and attended Detroit Public Schools, saw firsthand the challenges of his classmates who were living in poverty. Wilkinson said this made such an indelible impact on him that when he was in his mid-20s, he transitioned from a real estate and investment career into the philanthropic
A well-respected backup catcher in Triple-A Sacramento was paying close attention when Scott Harris left the San Francisco Giants and joined the Detroit Tigers in September as president of baseball operations. “I thought Detroit would be a good fit for me,” the catcher said. Two months earlier, Harris signed switch-hitting catcher Andrew Knapp to a minor-league
Back in August 2021, we predicted who would be each farm system’s No. 1 prospect entering 2023. Well, the time has come to review our work. Generally, we did pretty well. Gunnar Henderson (Orioles), Francisco Álvarez (Mets), Jordan Walker (Cardinals), Anthony Volpe (Yankees) and Marcelo Mayer (Red Sox) were our selections then, and now they

3 states I’d never live in: 1. California2. New York3. Illinois (used to live there) IMO, being far left means you’re trying to find something to complain about at all times. I honestly don’t know how anyone is extreme left or right. Both sides are worthless. Eliminating the 2 party system is the only solution.

The Detroit Tigers will be represented by eight players in the 2023 World Baseball Classic. The official rosters for the fifth-ever international baseball tournament were released Thursday night.

Lakeland, Fla. — As it turned out, there were no surprises. Five Tigers were selected to World Baseball Classic rosters, as announced Thursday night on MLB Network.

Left-hander Tarik Skubal had a nice breakout season in 2021, tossing 149 1/3 innings that year with a 4.34 ERA. He seemed to take a step forward in 2022, getting his ERA down to 3.52 through 21 starts. Unfortunately, he required flexor tendon surgery in August, wiping out the rest of that season and likely
For a team in transition that spent an offseason churning the roster with a new president of baseball operations, the Tigers enter Spring Training with fewer open competitions than one might expect. Part of that comes from players under contract, part from a bevy of young players expected to take steps forward from last year.
Lakeland, Fla. — Timelines for players coming off surgery can be counterproductive. You might think they establish a target that can help focus and motivate them through the rehab grind. But, too often they move. They are variable. And when a target date is missed, the disappointment can set a player back mentally. Tigers lefty
