DETROIT — The Tigers’ 2023 home schedule — for which single-game tickets went on sale Friday — includes a three-game series in mid-April against the Giants, whose RBI leader last season was infielder Wilmer Flores.

If Cubs fans think they hate Jed Hoyer now, just wait until this trade is done with. Just a year-plus after leaving Chicago, could a Javy Baez reunion make sense? Is it likely that the Cubs bring Javy Baez back to the north side of Chicago? No, not right now.
Detroit Tigers prospects Wilmer Flores and Kerry Carpenter were awarded the organization’s minor-league POTY awards Thursday — but the P stands for two different things. Flores, a 21-year-old right handed starter from Venezuela, earned pitcher of the year honors. “When they told me (I won), it felt really good,” Flores told reporters on Thursday. “I
For most Tigers players and fans, the end of the season was a chance to forget a rough year. For Kerry Carpenter, it was a chance to finally pinch himself. Around this time a year ago, Carpenter was arguably fighting for his career. He was headed to St. Louis to see a hitting instructor about
