Monday afternoon, the New York Yankees hired Detroit Tigers assistant hitting coach James Rowson for their head hitting coach vacancy. Rowson spent just one season in Detroit, meaning New York will be Rowson’s third team in as many years. This is his third time taking a coaching job with the Yanks; he spent the 2007-12
The Yankees announced Monday that they’ve hired James Rowson as their new hitting coach. He’d reportedly been offered the position last week. Rowson, 47, is no stranger to the Yankees organization, having spent nine years as a minor league hitting coach and minor league hitting coordinator. He’s spent the past nine seasons on Major League
Ken Daniels welcomed Jason Benetti, the new Detroit Tigers television play-by play-announcer, to Detroit this week.
The Tigers will be hiring Joey Cora for their coaching staff, The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal (X link) reported earlier this week. Cora has spent the last two seasons as the Mets’ third base coach, and he “is expected” to fill that same role in Motown, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press, who
The Rays have claimed left-hander Tyler Alexander off waivers from the Tigers, according to announcements from both clubs. The Tigers had designated the lefty for assignment earlier this week. Alexander, 29, will join a new organization for the first time in his career. He was selected by the Tigers in the second round of the
The Tigers have officially made one of their best and boldest moves of the offseason, and technically it was a move made by Bally Sports and not the Tigers at all. With the hiring of former White Sox play-by-play announcer (and one of the best announcers currently working in baseball), the Tigers are poised to
There had been precious little to report in terms of Bally Sports or the Detroit Tigers search for their next play-by-play announcer in the wake of Matt Shepard’s departure until today. And this is really good news. Ilitch Companies announced on Thursday morning that they’ve hired Jason Benetti as the new Tigers play-by-play announcer. The
The Detroit Tigers announced on Wednesday that they’ve hired Joey Cora as their new infield coach. A former major leaguer and most recently the New York Mets third base coach, Cora is expected to take over at third base according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press, who was first with the story. In
The Tigers face the potential loss of Eduardo Rodriguez, who officially opted out of his contract on Saturday. The move was entirely unsurprising with the left-hander in good position to land a much better deal than the three years and $49MM that remained. MLB.com’s Jon Morosi tweeted shortly before Rodriguez opted out that his camp had
On November 14, major league teams will have to add any prospect they want protected from the Rule 5 draft to their 40-man rosters. Currently, the Tigers 40-man roster is set at 40 players, so they’ll have to make cuts in order to protect their top prospects who would otherwise be Rule 5 draft eligible.
Former Tigers infielder Zack Short has been claimed on waivers by the Mets, the Tigers announced. This comes amidst a flurry of roster moves for the Tigers, who needed to open up several spots on the 40-man ahead of the deadline to move players off of the 60-day injured list, as well as the deadline
Tigers shortstop Javier Baez declined to opt out of his contract with the Tigers, writes Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free-Press. He’ll be due $98MM over the next four seasons. There was no suspense with the decision. Baez has struggled mightily since landing in Detroit. He owns a .230/.273/.361 line through the first two seasons of
The Tigers announced a flurry of roster moves this afternoon. Chief among those was the team’s decision to exercise their 2024 club options on catcher Carson Kelly and outfielder Mark Canha. In addition, the club designated left-hander Tyler Alexander for assignment, assigned left-hander Andrew Vasquez and right-hander Trey Wingenter outright to Triple-A, and selected the
After striking quickly for a little positional help, the Detroit Tigers’ focus quickly turns to pitching in the wake of Eduardo Rodriguez’s decision to test free agency. Adding Mark Canha was a solid move, but it doesn’t turn the offense into a real force either. Picking up Carson Kelly ensures a strong defensive catching group,
As free agency opens on Monday, the Tigers have announced a host of moves to set up their roster for the offseason. First and foremost, they’ve exercised their club options on catcher Carson Kelly and outfielder Mark Canha. Obviously the Tigers traded for Canha specifically to exercise said option, so no surprise there, but Kelly
As expected. Kelly didn’t hit much when he came to us but his work behind the plate was pretty good after settling in. Fans constantly make the mistake of focusing on the offense when making a judgement on the worth of a catcher. Kelly is far from the only light hitting catcher with a MLB
The Reds declined their club option on franchise icon Joey Votto yesterday. In a statement from GM Nick Krall yesterday on the move, he emphasized that he didn’t believe that the necessary at-bats would be available to Votto in 2024 for him to remain with the team, seemingly indicating that the odds of the sides
The Tigers announced that first baseman/outfielder Mark Canha has been acquired in a trade with the Brewers. Minor league reliever Blake Holub heads back to Milwaukee in return. It can be assumed that Detroit will exercised the $11.5MM club option on Canha’s services for the 2024 season, which is essentially a $9.5MM decision since that
It has been pretty well discussed, but ERod did not tell Harris up front that he would nix a deal to the Dodgers. He waited until he could see if the Dodgers would pay him more. They chose not to. ERod chose to invoke the clause. ERod has put himself ahead of the team from
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
