Scott Harris and Jeff Greenberg aren’t wasting time. The offseason has just begun, and they’ve already targeted a bat in trade. On Saturday, the Tigers traded relief prospect Blake Holub to the Milwaukee Brewers for veteran OF/1B Mark Canha. The Brewers held an $11.5 million option on Canha for 2024 which they presumably weren’t ever
At no point this season did anyone seriously expect Detroit Tigers left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez to opt into the remaining three years and $49 million left on the five year pact signed in the 2021-2022 offseason. And with not even the hint of a rumor of re-negotiating the deal during the season, after a very strange
In 2034 the Tigers bid farewell to Miguel Cabrera, a player we’d seen in hundreds of games over a decade of time. Miggy was a part of the fabric of the team, and it will certainly be strange not to see him in a Tigers’ jersey next spring. But where there are decade-long veterans of
Well that was a typically fascinating and unpredictable postseason, yet in the end, the team that looked like the best in baseball during most of the regular season figured it out and did the deed. The Texas Rangers have their first World Series title in franchise history. There are certainly some fascinating little notes in
On Thursday morning, MLB announced the finalists for the 2023 Silver Slugger awards, and the Tigers have a representative. First baseman Spencer Torkelson is one of four American League first baseman named finalists for the award at that position. The Silver Slugger Award are presented to the best offensive player in the league at each
The World Series will be completed in less than a week, which means the offseason is imminent. Almost right away, some key decisions will have to be made. Within five days of the World Series ending, contract options will need to be either exercised or declined and clubs will also have to choose whether or
Cubs center fielder Cody Bellinger figures to be perhaps the top positional free agent this side of Shohei Ohtani during the coming offseason, and The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma discussed his upcoming free agency with various scouts this morning. Bellinger’s 2023 campaign saw him slash a strong .307/.356/.525, pairing 26 home runs and a minuscule 15.6%
The Astros figure to add injured right-handers Lance McCullers Jr. and Luis Garcia back into their rotation mix in 2024, though The Athletic’s Chandler Rome notes that, with neither player expected to be ready for Opening Day next season, rookie right-handers J.P. France and Hunter Brown could have opportunities to crack the rotation again headed
The Arizona DIamondbacks looked to have seized Game 1 on the road, until Corey Seager and Adolis Garcia came through with some all-time great heroics. Seager’s game tying two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth was epic enough, but Garcia was ready to ice the cake two innings later as his incredible postseason heroics
The Guardians have secured permission to interview Brewers manager Craig Counsell, per Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com. Cleveland had previously been reported as requesting permission from Milwaukee to interview Counsell earlier this week. While it was unclear if the Brewers would grant that permission, it’s hardly a surprise that they did so after recently offering the
Dusty Baker might be finished as a manager, but the baseball lifer has a job in the Astros front office anytime he wants it. Owner Jim Crane told reporters (including Brian McTaggart of MLB.com) that Baker is “always welcome” in the Astros organization. Meanwhile, the long-time skipper said he is “retiring from the field” but hasn’t
Arizona Fall League play has been underway since early October, and things are going very well for most of the Detroit Tigers’ minor leaguers playing for the Salt River Rafters. Top pitching prospect Jackson Jobe has been the star attraction, with right-hander Wilmer Flores and infielder Jace Jung forming a pretty strong trio of young
A bad back might’ve saved Jose Abreu’s season, as the first baseman’s debut season in Houston didn’t start to turn around until a two-week stint on the injured list in August. Abreu was batting only .234/.291/.343 in 464 plate appearances prior to the IL trip, yet as Astros hitting coach Alex Cinton told ESPN’s Buster
Jim Leyland has accomplished many things in his storied baseball career, but soon he may be able to add Hall of Famer to his other merits. Leyland whose lengthy managerial career ended in 2013 with the Tigers, was just announced to be one of eight names eligible for Hall of Fame voting by the Contemporary
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum today announced the eight-person ballot that will be considered by its Contemporary Baseball Era Committee for Managers/Executives/Umpires for Hall of Fame election for the Class of 2024. The Contemporary Era Committee will meet on Dec. 3 at baseball’s Winter Meetings in Nashville, Tenn. Four managers, two executives
The finalists for the 2023 Rawlings Gold Glove Awards were released on Wednesday, and the lone representative from the Detroit Tigers is perhaps not the name you would have guessed. Zach McKinstry got the nod, along with Mauricio Dubon of the Houston Astros and Taylor Walls of the Tampa Bay Rays, as the three finalists
Stats help tell the story of baseball. Those are all iconic numbers tied to the best of the best in the game, and the pursuits of them give us storylines to follow as the seasons roll along. That’s no less true in the Minors than it is in the Majors. There may be significantly fewer

It seems like on an almost annual basis, we wind up talking about how the current rookie crop was one of the best in baseball history. That’s true again in 2023. Gunnar Henderson and Corbin Carroll entered the year ranked 1-2 on MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 Prospects list and likely will end it as the
