There’s never a bad time to fall into a Baseball-Reference.com rabbit hole. With a plethora of information to absorb, a visit to one page can easily lead a curious web surfer to another page and then another, and so on and so forth. The B-R random page generator is a fun way to dig into…
Hey everyone. I’m Tanya, and I oversee all of our baseball communities for SB Nation. This Thursday will be a big day for our community: we’re moving our comments to a new platform, developed especially for SB Nation. All of our MLB communities will be moving to the new platform, and I’m excited about the
It is not entirely fair to place the burden of trades gone wrong on acquired prospects, but it is impossible for Detroit Tigers fans to hear the names Daz Cameron, Jake Rogers, and Franklin Pérez and not shake their heads in disappointment. Trading Justin Verlander became an inevitability back in 2017, but to have none
1905 saw things begin to turn around for the Tigers. They had a new future superstar in their midst (though they couldn’t have possibly known it at the time, since he only came to the club in late August), and the club managed to post a winning record at long last under new manager Bill
Casey Mize says he is doing well this offseason. The 24-year-old right-hander resides in St. Petersburg, Florida, with his wife, Tali, and is preparing for spring training — whenever the MLB lockout ends — at baseball facilities in St. Petersburg and Tampa. Mize is coming off a solid rookie season for the Detroit Tigers, logging a 3.71 ERA with
Major league players and owners sat down for over two hours on Monday, and the players arrived with some altered proposals, including dropping the age-based exceptions that they previously made to the service time requirement for free agency. The union also modified their proposals on revenue sharing, according to Evan Drellich of the Athletic. The
The staff at Motor City Bengals put together their own Detroit Tigers prospect ranking independent of one another. Co-site experts Rogelio Castillo and Chris Brown aggregated that info and used the averages to come up with the site’s Top 20.
By Ronald Blum | Associated Press Locked-out Major League Baseball players withdrew their proposal for more liberalized free agency and lowered their proposed decrease in revenue sharing Monday. Players had previously asked that players be allowed to become free agents after five years of service with some age provisions rather than the current six. The union
Our look at the top 20 prospects in the Detroit Tigers system continues with an in-depth examination of Kody Clemens. Kody Clemens is the second infielder we’ve previewed, following our #20 prospect Andre Lipcius. You can also read about our #19 prospect Garrett Hill here.
The specter of the player drafted one spot behind him will hang over Jackson Jobe until he proves that he was worthy of being taken third overall by the Tigers in the 2021 MLB draft. Detroit’s front office certainly seems to think that he’s something special; they must, in order to have committed such an
In a special event at Comerica Park, Dan Dickerson and Craig Monroe regaled their audience with stories from Tigers past, including what Magglio Ordonez may have said just prior to hitting his historic blast to clinch the 2006 ALCS.
Of the Detroit Tigers‘ recent successes in turning their fortunes around, certainly the most crucial was hitting on their high first-round draft picks. Sure, none of the group is exactly tearing it up at the major league level just yet, but by any standards, the organization didn’t blow any of its four top ten picks
Among the dozens of movies that tell stories about baseball, some of the most beloved are those that were written for events that actually happened. “Based on a true story” films bring a slice of history back to life, and, if effective, make us think (and debate). Today, we continue our movie roundtable series with
As was the case in so many clutch moments during his legendary career with the Red Sox, all eyes are on David Ortiz as we eagerly await the announcement of the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2022. After no players were elected on last year’s Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot, Ortiz —
The Detroit Tigers need pitching. It sounds a bit odd when considering it has been the foundation of the rebuild. It isn’t that those arms haven’t panned out, either. Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal have the makings of solid rotation pieces that could be long-term anchors. The jury is still out on Matt Manning, Alex…
Tigers followers ache for those old late-January moments that told you Lakeland, Florida, and spring training’s Grapefruit League bliss, were days away. There was the annual Saturday morning exercise in frigidity, TigerFest, where people blowing condescension from their mouths didn’t mind standing in line in single-digit weather waiting for a chance to see Tigers players
A surprise team has entered the Freddie Freeman chase — or at least been named as a potential suitor: The Detroit Tigers. Does the fit make sense? The Tigers already made one free agent splash this offseason by signing Javier Baez before the lockout. They also added a shutdown pitcher in former Red Sox hurler…
Detroit — Eric Haase didn’t need to check Twitter or read the transaction wire to know what might be in store for him this season. For the rest of us, a little bell went off back in November when the Tigers announced they’d tendered a contract to veteran catcher Dustin Garneau. It meant they are at
The first of a 3-part series provides an update on Detroit Tigers prospects #12 through #9 according to MLB Pipeline, including a shortstop who is knocking at the door of making his big league debut.
