This season for the Detroit Tigers is already a lost cause. They are 12 games out of first place in the AL Central and 10 games out of a wild card spot. The offense is historically bad and has shown no signs of improvement. It’s June 18. If the Detroit Tigers aren’t going to make…
Detroit – It was just a little more than three years ago, on a sun-kissed afternoon at Comerica Park much like this one. Al Kaline was standing behind the batter’s cage.

DETROIT — The wait has been on for Riley Greene ever since he was an 18-year-old putting on a show in batting practice at Comerica Park the day he signed his first pro contract in June 2019, prompting Miguel Cabrera to beg Tigers brass to keep him around. Three years, two weeks and 198 Minor
Heading into the 2022 season, I could finally see the path to the playoffs for the Detroit Tigers. Robbie Grossman found his power stroke last season and would continue his over-the-fence pop and on-base abilities, Jeimer Candelario was that 3-4 WAR third baseman we all thought he could be after leading the league in doubles…

On Friday afternoon, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch called Toledo

DETROIT — Riley Greene already had a locker in the Tigers’ clubhouse Friday night, two stalls down from good friend and fellow rookie Spencer Torkelson. His Detroit Stars jersey, which the Tigers will be wearing Saturday, was hanging in the locker. The symbolism was hard to miss as the Tigers absorbed their sixth straight loss,
