Today is Feb. 3, 2023. It’s a perfectly innocuous date, at least until you shorten it to just the digits: 2/3/23. That’s 23-23, or as ESPN (and its ACC Network) has dubbed it: “Michael Jordan Day.” It’s all fine and good, we guess — there are worse ideas than a day devoted to Jordan’s greatest moments

Todd Jones and Cameron Maybin were Tigers teammates in 2007 at opposite ends of their careers — Jones as a 39-year-old closer, Maybin as a 20-year-old rookie outfielder. They’re about to become teammates again, this time in the television studio and broadcast booth, as Bally Sports Detroit juggles its Tigers broadcast team. The network announced
Detroit — Tigers fans were waiting for some notable moves. And, on Thursday, they got them — albeit, not on the actual playing roster. Two former Tigers have signed on to join the Bally Sports Detroit TV booth for the 2023 season: Cameron Maybin, who had three stints in Detroit after he was drafted in
New faces are coming to Bally Sports Detroit. The network, owned by Diamond Sports Group, has hired former MLB players Cameron Maybin and Todd Jones to work Detroit Tigers games on the TV broadcast throughout the 2023 season. Craig Monroe has been elevated as the primary in-game analyst, alongside returning play-by-play announcer Matt Shepard. The
DETROIT — Rev. Horace Sheffield III can quickly pinpoint the person who most influenced his life — his father, Horace Sheffield Jr. Sheffield’s dad was the president of the Negro American Labor Council, and through his activism, he formed a close relationship with Martin Luther King Jr. “All of my early childhood was immersed in
Roberto Campos is maturing. He knows his goals and understands the path to achieve them. He shows up at the ballpark earlier than his teammates, finds ways to get better every day, follows a strict pregame routine and prioritizes his physique. Campos, who signed with the Detroit Tigers for $2.85 million in July 2019, turned

Cristian Santana stepped into the batter’s box for his first-ever tryout. Scouts were evaluating a group of players in the Dominican Republic. He was only 13 years old, but in that moment, he promised himself he would control the strike zone for the rest of his career. Santana, who turned 19 in late November, became
At first blush, it was one of those typical, lower-profile MLB offseason moves any team makes. But this hinted at something more intriguing, especially by a team hurting for firepower, when in December new Tigers boss Scott Harris signed a minor-league, free-agent outfielder named Diego Rincones. Rincones, only 23, was a right-handed batter, 6-foot, 175
