After seven seasons and a complete teardown, the Detroit Tigers and owner Chris Illitch decided to move on from their GM Al Avila. Avila was tasked with a tough assignment–offload pricey veterans and endure losing in hopes that their homegrown talent would eventually star in the major leagues.
The High-A West Michigan Whitecaps had quite a week. On August 5, the Tigers’ 2022 first-round draft pick Jace Jung and fellow prospect Izaac Pacheco were added to the roster and put up an 11-run offensive showing against the Lansing Lugnuts. Jung’s night ended with an opposite-field hit, but it was Pacheco who captured the
22-year-old Wenceel Perez isn’t interested in climbing up the prospect rankings. His focus is on making it to Detroit, and with the way he’s playing in Erie, that won’t be long.
Ask around the league. Check with executives, scouts and agents. Jason McLeod has been mentioned several times. The Detroit Tigers have just begun their search for a new general manager, after Al Avila was fired last Wednesday in his seventh season at the helm.

CLEVELAND — For the second time in 2022, the Detroit Tigers hammered back-to-back home runs, and after losing the past eight games (and 27 of 34 games since July 9), the Tigers finished in the win column. “We needed a win in the worst way,” manager A.J.

From magical tags to circus catches, Javier Báez can do just about anything on a baseball field. Even hitting 92 mph sliders off the bounce, apparently. During the ninth inning of Cleveland’s 4-1 win in Game 1 of a doubleheader Monday, the Tigers shortstop swatted an 0-2 slider from Guardians pitcher Emmanuel Clase that hit
