So last year in a shortened season, third baseman Jeimer Candelario came into the season in a dog fight for the Detroit Tigers’ third base job with Dawel Lugo. He put together a good season and won our first Detroit Tigers player of the year award and Lugo has not been on a major league…
Yes, Al Avila and company are at it again. On Tuesday, it was announced that Stephanos Stroop, another Los Angeles Dodgers minor league pitching coach, has been hired by the Tigers as a minor league Pitching Coordinator. New player development honcho Ryan Garko has really raided the Dodgers’ player development system to build his staff
At one point, Willi Castro seemed like an unexpected victory for the Detroit Tigers. Acquired from Cleveland in exchange for center fielder Leonys Martin at the July 2018 trade deadline, general manager Al Avila didn’t shy away from boasting about his upside then.

Jonathan Schoop completed a very important season in his career in 2021 where he did enough to convince the Detroit Tigers he was an asset worthy of a 2-year commitment versus a trade deadline chip. Schoop’s magical month of June provided the main impetus for Detroit Tigers GM Al Avila to get ink on paper…
With the five or so year rebuild coming to a close and a new day on the horizon, I decided to put together a dream lineup for a competitive 2022 Detroit Tigers team. One caveat, this will be based somewhat on reality. Of course, the “dream” lineup would have all-stars playing every position on the…
Seven months ago, Kyle Funkhouser made a career-changing decision in spring training. Once a top starting pitching prospect, Funkhouser — now a reliever — had been optioned to Triple-A Toledo on March 12, a formality that made him one of the first two players eliminated from Opening Day roster considerations.
