The official ballot for the 2022 Hall of Fame voting dropped on Monday afternoon, and while anyone who keeps track of the requirements knew who would be added this year, it’s still a lot of fun to see who the new contenders are, and whether any give the “first ballot” vibe. There are 13 new
Al Kaline finished his career with 399 home runs. Let’s give him one more. The high-profile auction of more than 400 Kaline-owned items proved a major hit, bringing in more than $1.64 million, more than double the early estimates, Dallas-based Heritage Auctions announced Monday. The auction ran from Thursday through Saturday, with top sellers including
Each year, when the Baseball Writers’ Association of America reveals its Hall of Fame ballot, it’s always interesting to see which new names appear for the first time — there’s usually a mix of all-time greats, All-Stars and names you’d place under the category of “Let’s remember some guys.” This year is no exception, and
The Detroit Tigers last season under manager AJ Hinch embraced players who could multiple players. While some of it was by necessity due to perhaps Hinch trying to figure out what he was working with, Tigers fans witness Jonathan Schoop get some time at first base, Harold Castro in centerfield, and even Willi Castro in…
The Detroit Tigers haven’t wasted any time addressing their needs this offseason. The Tucker Barnhart trade and the Eduardo Rodriguez signing both served notice to fans, and other teams, that the Tigers are serious about contending again. But there’s plenty more work to be done.
What the Detroit Tigers do next depends on a lot of things. The scenarios begin with the shortstop market: Will the Tigers eventually pay up to get Carlos Correa? If not, how much will they spend for one of the other premier shortstops? And if the Tigers, for some reason, swing and miss at a top shortstop, everything changes. In
Major League Baseball’s free agent season is underway and with a lockout and accompanying transaction freeze looming, the Carlos Correa coaster is speeding right along. Up, down, up, down, full speed ahead. It’s easy to get caught up in a game of speculation, or to take tweets and rumors all too seriously during free agent
1973’s Bang the Drum Slowly, directed by John D. Hancock, has all the hallmarks of a soppy sports melodrama, and often draws comparisons to Brian’s Song, but manages to avoid most of the pitfalls of that genre of the film… though perhaps at the expense of storytelling.
The longtime Pirate has bounced around of late but is coming off a very solid season split between Miami and Oakland. He’s now looking for a new home at the age of 33. Could the Detroit Tigers be a good fit?
Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell made his way to the mound. It was May 28, 2015. Making his MLB debut, Eduardo Rodriguez stood at the center of this moment. The left-hander had faced the Texas Rangers in front of 34,000 fans at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas. He pitched 7⅔ scoreless innings, allowing

When the Detroit Tigers signed Niko Goodrum to a minor league contract back in November 2017, it made sense. Former Tigers and Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was familiar with his abilities when he was in the Twins farm system. The scouting report was he had position versatility and power potential. ($)
Before the free agency period even began, Carlos Correa to the Detroit Tigers was so “in” that many have assumed it was going to be a foregone conclusion. Not so fast, Detroit Tigers fans. According to a report ($) by Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press, the Tigers are currently unwilling to meet Correa’s…

Carlos Correa has the Detroit Tigers on his radar. The Tigers have spoken to representatives of all five premier shortstops on the free-agent market: Correa, Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, Trevor Story and Javier Baez. While the Tigers make sense for a lot of these players, Correa is the one significantly interested in coming to Detroit. To some on
DETROIT — Niko Goodrum’s Tigers tenure is over after four seasons. The team dropped the switch-hitting shortstop/superutility player from its 40-man roster on Friday as part of a series of moves to clear space for prospects who needed to be added ahead of the Rule 5 Draft. Goodrum, one of the brighter spots in the
The Tigers announced Friday that infielder Niko Goodrum went unclaimed on outright waivers and has elected free agency. Detroit also passed righty Nivaldo Rodriguez and outfielder Jacob Robson through waivers unclaimed, though they’ll both remain with the organization after being outrighted to Triple-A. (Unlike Goodrum, they did not have the service time needed to reject
So long, Niko Goodrum. November 19 marks the deadline for major league clubs to set their 40-man roster. While signings can be made after this time, this is done, effectively, to protect certain players from becoming eligible for the Rule 5 Draft. So players that the club is unlikely to keep on their major league
