There are only 10 more games remaining in the 2021 Major League Baseball regular season heading into this weekend’s three-game series with fellow American League Central Division foe the Kansas City Royals in Detroit. While the imminent end of the schedule brings a bit of sadness to teams outside of the playoff hunt, the culmination
Detroit Tigers reliever Michael Fulmer is proof that not all Tommy John Surgery recoveries are created equal. With modern medicine and the continued frequency of these surgeries, fans sometimes assume that a player will be out for 12 months and then return throwing harder than before. In some cases, that certainly is true.
The Detroit Tigers continue to tear through teams destined for the postseason. Beating baseball’s highest tier has been on full display in September. Some believed the Tigers would crash, considering what appeared to be an unbearable schedule: Oakland Athletics, Cincinnati Reds, Pittsburgh Pirates, Tampa Bay Rays (seven times), Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago White Sox (six times), Kansas
Toledo, Ohio – The Mud Hens split a doubleheader with the Louisville Bats tonight to open postseason play. Toledo secured a 3-2 victory in game one but were victims of walkoff home run in game two, falling by a score of 7-6. RHP Mark Leiter Jr. had an excellent start in game one, posting a
Detroit — It became very evident very fast Thursday that there was a lot more to Ryan Garko than just a former Indians’ first baseman who would occasionally torment Tigers’ pitching from 2006 to 2009, posting an .843 OPS against them with six homers (two off Justin Verlander). “Funny, my biggest memories are of Verlander striking
The Detroit Tigers announced Thursday the addition of Ryan Garko as the new vice president of player development. He accepted the position previously held by Dave Littlefield, who was reassigned in late August as part of progressive front office moves. General manager Al Avila said the vice president of player development role was identified as the “second-most important (job) to
They say that numbers don’t lie. But it’s also true that they don’t tell a complete story all the time. That’s certainly true in baseball, where statistics of all shapes and sizes have been used to measure performance for generations, even if those measuring sticks have changed over the years. When jumping into the long-term
The Detroit Tigers benched Miguel Cabrera before the seventh inning of Monday’s game as a precaution because of back tightness. He then missed Tuesday’s game, and before manager AJ Hinch could submit Wednesday’s lineup card, the game was postponed. The status of the 38-year-old’s health remains unclear. His back tightened up after he fell at first base
The Detroit Tigers search for a vice president of player development is over as the team announced today in a press release that former MLB first baseman Ryan Garko will be the new vice president of player development. He spent the last two seasons coaching with the LA Angels.
DETROIT — Ryan Garko spent much of his playing career trying to beat the Tigers as a first baseman in Cleveland. He’ll now jump into the Tigers’ front office hoping to help the farm system round out the team’s return to contention. The 40-year-old Garko had been on Joe Maddon’s coaching staff with the Angels
The Detroit Tigers’ search for a new player development chief is over. On Thursday, the team announced that Ryan Garko, the Los Angeles Angels replay coordinator and former major league first baseman, has been hired as Vice-President of Player Development.

Well it’s been a while, but it’s time to get the podcast up and running once again. So much has happened since the draft that we could probably go on for hours and hours, but that’s too much for a podcast. The question is: what do you all want to hear about most? So, please
Detroit — Comerica Park will play host to MiggyFest this weekend, as the Tigers’ play their final home series of the 2021 season against the Kansas City Royals. Technically, it’s Fan Appreciation weekend, but on Friday, the club will honor Miguel Cabrera and celebrate his 500th career home run, which he hit in Toronto on
I know what you are thinking. Writing this article for the sake of “boredom” or clicks and that more than likely, these trade partner ideas for the Detroit Tigers will never happen. You are probably correct but for the sake of using our imaginations and looking around the league with the possible new collective bargaining…
Isaac Paredes entered the 2021 season ranked number 6 on our list of the top 20 Detroit Tigers prospects. We certainly weren’t alone in our regard for the young infielder.

Daz Cameron looked a lot like a big leaguer Tuesday afternoon. He went 3-for-3 with one walk in the Detroit Tigers’ 5-3 win over the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park. He then offered detailed responses to the media after the game, discussing his confidence, low batting average against left-handed pitchers and desire to win. Overall, the 24-year-old appeared
Detroit — Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo has exceeded all expectations this season. That’s not even debatable. A Rule-5 project who hadn’t played in two years, coming off elbow surgery, having never played above High-A ball — that he has been a productive presence in the Tigers’ lineup all season is remarkable. That he’s slashed .259/.325/.452, with
The Detroit Tigers game with the Chicago White Sox was postponed as it was rescheduled for Monday, September 27th, but the Toledo Mud Hens start a new format in Triple-A baseball with a five-game series down in Louisville against the Bats, the Cincinnati Reds affiliate.
The Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox postponed Wednesday’s game, scheduled for 1:10 p.m., because of rain at Comerica Park in Detroit.
