I have to be honest, of all of the 362 baseballs Miguel Cabrera has sent over a fence in his time with the Detroit Tigers, the 500th of his storied career means little to me personally. On a Sunday in August for a third-place club, Miggy lofted a Steven Matz breaking ball over the right-center…
The Tigers are kicking off a two-game series in St. Louis this week, and we figured on this rare occasion that we see a non-Pirates NL Central team we should take a moment to see what’s going on with the Cardinals. The NL Central is in a pretty similar state of shambles that the AL

Funkhouser has been one of the Detroit Tigers’ most reliable bullpen arms all season and has made great strides since debuting in the 2020s shortened season. Despite pitching a small sample size of 17 innings last year, there are a lot of numbers to suggest a small change in approach in 2021 has led to…
We finally got there. After sitting on 499 homers for what felt like forever, Miguel Cabrera finally launched No. 500 on Sunday, further cementing his legacy among some of the game’s greatest ever hitters. His quest now turns to 3000 hits (more on that later), but this was a huge weight off his chest. For
Miguel Cabrera was in a slump — about five years ago — and Al Kaline walked by in the clubhouse. Kaline squeezed Cabrera’s shoulder as if to say: “You’ll get through this. I know what you are going through. I have confidence in you.” “Oh, Mr. Kaline,” Cabrera said. “I need some of your greatness.”

TORONTO — From the camera view, Derek Hill seemingly came out of nowhere for another highlight catch.

After eight homer-free games from Miguel Cabrera,
Job promotion happens for a reason, which is why a bunch of Tigers farmhands at Double-A Erie a week ago were bumped to Triple-A Toledo, a doorstep from Comerica Park. Three of them are doing just fine in their first week: outfielder Riley Greene, first baseman Spencer Torkelson, and shortstop Ryan Kreidler. They happen to
