Next stop: Lakeland! #shorts
Since 2014, I have been crafting an annual All-Underrated Team, and, over that time, my formula for what it means to be “underrated” has been fine-tuned so much that I fear I have painted myself into a corner. For the uninitiated, these are the requirements to be eligible for the All-Underrated Team: • No All-Star
No Major League team has been in its current Spring Training home for as many years as the Tigers have been in Lakeland, Fla. Yet as the Tigers prepare for their 87th Spring Training in Lakeland, and their 58th consecutive season of games at Joker Marchant Stadium, the emphasis is on youth, from emerging youngsters
Sometimes, a change of scenery is necessary. Mario Feliciano, a former offense-first catching prospect with the Milwaukee Brewers, would agree. Selected No. 75 overall in the 2016 draft, he won the High-A Carolina League MVP in 2019 and reached his peak as the Brewers’ No. 3 prospect in 2020. He still had a long way
It’s a lesson learned from his father. Colt Keith tries to simplify everything about his game. Troy wrestled in college and summed up the family sport for his son in one sentence: “If you want to take somebody down, just pick them up and put them on the ground.” The mentality — don’t think, just do

Omar Narvaez signed a one-year, $8MM deal (with a $7MM player option for 2024) with the Mets just before Christmas, and Will Sammon of The Athletic shed a little more light on the market for the veteran backstop before he eventually wound up in New York. Sammon notes that the Giants strongly considered a move
With just two weeks until every player in the game is in the best shape of their life, and balls, bats, and gloves are popping throughout Florida and Arizona’s spring training complexes, it’s time for the yearly ritual once again. Below are reports for our 2023 top 30 prospect list for the Detroit Tigers. As
So far this offseason, the farm system bequeathed to new President of Baseball Operations, Scott Harris has been pretty widely maligned. There are plenty of good reasons for that, but there is also some commentary that probably has more to do with the prior regime’s reputation in terms of scouting and player development as with
It’s been a long five years for Franklin Perez. Perez, the centerpiece of the Detroit Tigers‘ three-player return from the Houston Astros in the 2017 Justin Verlander trade, spent almost all of the five past seasons, from 2018-22, away from the mound. The injuries and setbacks seemed endless, and his right shoulder was the main
It’s about that time again. With baseball’s return just around the corner, we can’t help but throw around predictions for the 2023 season. This year, more projections than usual are likely to center around home run totals — after all, this time last year, did anyone have Aaron Judge hitting 62? But maybe speculating isn’t
We hear from coach Dwane Casey after his Pistons, despite 23 turnovers, come away with a 118-112 victory over the Hornets on Friday. #DetroitBasketball
Detroit – The Tigers haven’t had a pitcher throw more than 80 innings out of the bullpen in 17 seasons, not since Joel Zumaya worked 83.1 innings in 2006. Alex Wilson (2016) and Nick Ramirez (2019) were the only two to exceed 70 innings in the last nine seasons. The last Tigers’ reliever to throw

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
For fans who have become accustomed to the current Bally Sports broadcast booth during Tigers games the last few years: prepare yourselves, because changes are coming. It was already previously announced that Matt Shepard would continue in his role as the primary play-by-play announcer, but the color commentary that had been split between former players

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
