Detroit — From a business perspective, changing the hitting coaches was a no-brainer. The Tigers, who scored the fewest runs, hit the fewest home runs and extra-base hits in baseball, were shut out a modern-day record 22 times and had the highest strikeout percentage and second-lowest walk rate in the American League, parted ways with

Manager A.J. Hinch refused to shake up his coaching staff during the season, claiming the 24-hour news cycle wouldn’t fix the problem.

The Detroit Tigers, despite losing their final three games of the 2022 season, went 11-5 in their final 16 games, all after former San Francisco Giants general manager Scott Harris was hired as the franchise’s president of baseball operations. In past years, that would have left the Tigers — whose late-season spurt moved them from
The Detroit Tigers have missed the playoffs for the eighth consecutive year, which is now tied with the Los Angeles Angels for the longest playoff drought in baseball. But just because the Tigers fell short of the postseason yet again, doesn’t mean that fans can’t watch and enjoy the greatness that is playoff baseball.
The Detroit Tigers signed Eduardo Rodríguez to a five-year, $77 million contract this offseason. During former General Manager Al Avila’s attempts to add in some talent this offseason, he grabbed a run-of-the-mill southpaw in Rodríguez.
SEATTLE — Tucker Barnhart, a nine-year veteran catcher traded to the Detroit Tigers last November, received a simple question in front of his locker in the visitor’s clubhouse at T-Mobile Park, just hours before Game 162. “What was this year like for you?” Barnhart cracked a smile, then laughed. “How much time do you got?” he
SEATTLE — The Tigers began their season six months ago with a walk-off single to right field in the ninth and a 5-4 game, so maybe it was fitting they closed their season with the same, this time in Wednesday’s 5-4 loss to the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. But the final inning as a whole

Our Tigers broadcast crew puts a bow on the 2022 season.
Seattle — What you appreciate, besides his humility, immense talent and the promise he represents for Tigers baseball, is his unvarnished honesty. By just about any measure, Riley Greene had a solid rookie season. He won’t be in the talk for rookie of the year. His OPS-plus hovered around the Major League average of 100.
SEATTLE — Remember what Javier Báez said on Opening Day? “It’s not going to be easy,” he said in April, “but it’s going to be fun.” He ended up being halfway correct.
