The Marlins announced a pair of veteran additions to the upper levels of the farm system this evening (as relayed by Christina De Nicola of MLB.com). Miami signed center fielder Billy Hamilton to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Jacksonville; they’ve also acquired non-roster catcher Ryan Lavarnway in a trade with the Tigers.

The Erie SeaWolves shut out the Bowie Baysox 11-0 thanks to a four-RBI effort from Andre Lipcius on Tuesday at UPMC Park. Lipcius began the night with a one-out single off Garrett Stallings in the opening frame. Kerry Carpenter then cranked his 13th double of the season to plate Lipcius. The Erie SeaWolves shut out
The Detroit Tigers traded catcher Ryan Lavarnway to the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, according to a source, to open the door for other catchers with Triple-A Toledo to receive more playing time. In return, the Tigers received cash considerations. Lavarnway, 34, played five MLB games for the Marlins in 2020. He hit .281 with a
Since head coach Erik Bakich left the University of Michigan last week to take the head coaching job at Clemson, Detroit Tigers’ pitching coach Chris Fetter has been a key point of discussion as Bakich’s potential replacement. However, after a long week for Tigers’ fans, Fetter has removed his name from consideration and informed manager
Boston — You might’ve had to do a double take, but that side-arming right-hander throwing 96- and 97-mph bullets at the Tigers in the eighth inning Monday night was indeed Downriver’s John Schreiber. He’s bigger these days and bearded and more confident than he was at any time during his two seasons with the Tigers in 2019
Kyle Farnsworth was always an intimidating presence. Standing 6-foot-5 and 240 pounds and armed with a high-90s fastball, the reliever was always willing to throw down with any opponent over any slight. “It’s one thing to wonder if a pitcher is crazy, or more accurately, brave enough to go after you,” Bobby Cox, one of
Pitching coach Chris Fetter is staying with the Detroit Tigers. Fetter, courted by the University of Michigan to become the head coach of the baseball program, recently told manager A.J. Hinch and general manager Al Avila that he has taken his name out of consideration and will continue working in the big leagues, Hinch told
Boston — Tigers pitching coach Chris Fetter isn’t going anywhere. Fetter, according to manager AJ Hinch, informed officials at the University of Michigan that he was taking his name out of consideration for their search for a head baseball coach. “He was contacted by them and he has removed his name from consideration,” Hinch said Tuesday.
In just a couple of weeks we’ll all be celebrating the Fourth of July, chomping down on some burgers, kicking back some brewskis and watching some Detroit Tigers baseball. As the classic Chevy ad said, there’s nothing more American than “baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet.” And there’s certainly no more American holiday than…
How far would you go to achieve your dreams? When everyone around you, including your family, friends and even your own coach, are telling you it’s time to give up and aim for something a bit more “pragmatic” or “attainable,” what would you do?
Always a fan favorite, the Wind Surge are excited to bring post-game fireworks to downtown Wichita after the first ever playoff game, presented by Bank of America, played at Riverfront Stadium next Friday. Fans can enjoy a fireworks show at Riverfront Stadium after the conclusion of the game right from Always a fan favorite, the
Yesterday, I explained why the Detroit Tigers shouldn’t draft a pitcher in the first round of the upcoming 2022 MLB Draft. However, pitching is still a part of the game, of course, so they shouldn’t neglect it despite the pitching depth in the organization. As the old saying goes, you can never have too much…
The Detroit Tigers hold the 12th overall pick in the upcoming first-year player draft to be held from July 17-19 in Los Angeles. Currently there are two legacy players who are aiming to go one and two, Druw Jones, son of former Braves’ outfield Andruw Jones, and the aforementioned Jackson Holliday.
Riley Greene is here, but no he isn’t the cure-all for the Tigers’ ills. The whole lineup has swung the bat better in his three games with the club, even out-hitting the Red Sox in Monday’s loss, but this is still a team struggling to get the offense rolling consistently as the cracks in an
After a $2.6 million renovation, the historic Hamtramck Stadium — one of the few remaining Negro League ballparks in America — was unveiled Monday with a ceremony and a Negro Leagues tribute baseball game. The stadium, built in 1930 and the former home of the Detroit Stars, is one of five major Negro Leagues home ballparks in the

Boston — Manager AJ Hinch doesn’t typically make a mound visit unless he’s changing pitchers. Which made his visit to starter Alex Faedo in the fourth inning of the Tigers’ 5-2 loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park Monday curious. There was nobody warming in the bullpen. Hinch’s mission became crystal clear. It may
BOSTON — Alex Faedo fared well through his first seven starts after joining the Tigers’ rotation on May 4. The right-hander had a 2.92 ERA with 28 strikeouts in 37 innings, a welcome addition to a rotation dealing with the injury bug. Faedo’s ERA ballooned to 4.28 after he gave up seven runs in a
