NEW YORK — Tucker Barnhart believes rookie pitcher Elvin Rodriguez has a bright future ahead of him, the type of future that will put him on the mound at Yankee Stadium for a second time. Each trip to Yankee Stadium, though, will come with a memory of his first time. The New York Yankees throttled Rodriguez for

TIGER TALK: Detroit Tigers Newsletter: Bucs, bucks and Javier Báez’s big swings Game notes: After

Detroit — AJ Hinch has been through this before. Maybe not with a player quite as mercurial as Javier Báez, but he’s had to massage the bruised psyches of struggling superstar players before. Carlos Correa and George Springer both went through miserable stretches during Hinch’s time in Houston. Back in 2018, Correa hit .181 the

We knew inflation was bad, but $140 million just doesn’t buy what it used to in MLB. Oh, the Detroit Tigers’ troubles at the plate aren’t entirely Javier Báez’s fault. He’s clearly trying to hit, or at least clearly swinging at everything, via the Wayne Gretzky school of thought: “You miss 100% of the sliders
By now, Detroit Tigers’ fans are familiar with the organization’s top prospects – Riley Greene, Jackson Jobe, Dillion Dingler, Ty Madden and a few others. While the Tigers will count on those players in the not too distant future, every winning MLB franchise needs a cast of unsung prospects to fill the gaps and even…

New York — It’s never nothing with these Tigers. On a day when the pitching held up fairly well, on a day when the big hitters in the lineup delivered some clutch hits, on a day when they showed some real fight against one of the best teams in baseball, the defense buckled. “They just
