San Diego – That word again. Sustainable. Tigers president Scott Harris, speaking to beat reporters in his suite/war room at the Grand Hyatt hotel Monday night, laid out a significantly revised and more pointed mission statement for the offseason and beyond. It’s not about plastering over roster holes with short-term free agents. It’s not about
SAN DIEGO — At most Winter Meetings, coaching staff announcements would be footnotes amidst a flurry of rumors and aspirations. For the Tigers, the coaching staff is a reflection of what the team is trying to do here and for the rest of this offseason. Manager A.J. Hinch’s staff includes three pitching coaches, including a
The Detroit Tigers traded away ace Justin Verlander in 2017, and it clearly backfired on them as Verlander went on to achieve greatness without them. The Tigers made a mistake in trading veteran Justin Verlander back in 2017. While Verlander was a bit inconsistent in his last few years in Detroit, they didn’t get much…

Former American League Cy Young winner Rick Porcello seemingly stepped away from baseball with scarcely a word about his decision to do so following the 2020 season, but in a new appearance on the Bradfo Sho with WEEI’s Rob Bradford, the 33-year-old righty publicly confirmed for the first time that he has indeed retired. “I
It was a big weekend in baseball town.

Almost two weeks ago, the Detroit Tigers made the decision not to tender a contract to long-time third baseman, Jeimer Candelario. New President of Baseball Operations, Scott Harris, attempted to negotiate a one-year deal for less than the presumed $7 million Candelario would’ve received in his final year of arbitration, but it was no surprise
SAN DIEGO — Aaron Judge? Carlos Correa? Justin Verlander? Not happening. Don’t expect lengthy contract commitments from the Detroit Tigers this offseason, but that doesn’t mean the organization won’t be active in free agency and trades.

Scott Harris heads for San Diego this weekend for his first Winter Meetings experience as Tigers commander. And, as Detroit News cohort Chris McCosky explained, Harris has some heavy browsing in mind.
