Ryan Kreidler didn’t allow himself to use the word “frustrated” to describe his injury-plagued season when he talked about it in Toledo a couple weeks ago. “It’s been a
Detroit — Infielder Ryan Kreidler, the Tigers’ No. 7-rated prospect, is finally here. First baseman Spencer Torkelson, the No. 1 overall pick in 2020 who struggled out of the gate and was sent back to Triple-A Toledo, is back. Riley Greene has been manning center field and hitting leadoff for a couple of months. Outfielder Kerry
By Jerry Green | Special to The Detroit News Detroit — It was almost midnight when the swindle occurred, a sorry half decade ago. But the pain and the mirth remain. Pain if you’re from Detroit. Mirth and joyous mockery if you’re from Houston. This was the Great Verlander Swindle baseball’s worst player deal in 98 years.

Toledo Mud Hens 5, Rochester Red Wings 4 (box) Elvin Rodriguez put together a good outing, and a pair of solo shots proved the margin of victory as the Red Wings mounted a late comeback on Wednesday. Rodriguez tossed six innings of two run ball to start the Hens on the right foot. He scattered
Ryan Kreidler’s story in pro ball has been one of self-determination, and it’s finally culminated in his arrival in the big leagues. Wednesday afternoon, the Tigers announced their intent to call up the infield prospect on Thursday. He’ll join Spencer Torkelson as the wayward first baseman returns to the fold as well looking to build
Matt Manning has taken a step forward in his development this season.

They’re not going to play every day, with the notable exception of Greene, but they’re going to play enough to show what they can do. Ideally, they’ll play enough for the Tigers to evaluate them for next season. For manager A.J. Hinch, that involves not just playing enough to compile stats, but enough to make

Detroit – When something that hasn’t happened hardly at all this season happens twice in a matter of days, twice in back-to-back at-bats, it’s alarming. Tigers reliever Alex Lange’s curveball has been one of the best weapons in baseball this season. Opponents were hitting just .167 against it, swinging and missing 60% of the time.

BELOIT, Wisconsin — 2021 marked the end of the line for Pohlman Field, home of Beloit, Wisconsin’s Midwest League team since 1982. During that farewell campaign, the High-A Miami affiliate, then known as the Snappers, had seven full-season ticket holders. Not 700, 70 or even 17. Just seven. Pat and
