For the second weekend in a row, the Tigers dropped two of three to Cleveland, missing another chance to move into second place. While second in the AL Central is fairly meaningless in the postseason picture, being able to finish the season there would represent a huge win for the rebuilding club. Just as playing
The Detroit Tigers believe in Willi Castro’s offense. He’s not quite the defensive shortstop the Tigers were banking on, but the truth is the organization won’t care if he never plays shortstop again.

We’ll take a break from our regularly scheduled Miguel Cabrera home-run vigil to ponder some future realities that affect the Tigers, Cabrera, and baseball at-large in Detroit. Specifically, there is the issue of his contract, which until details were examined, was believed to extend for the remainder of our natural lives. In fact, as we
Hours after Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch mentioned that he was unsure of the front office’s plans for handling Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene (apart from the fact they will not be in Detroit this season), the club announced that Torkelson, Greene, and Ryan Kreidler were promoted to Triple-A Toledo.
Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene looked to be on a path to finish out the summer at Double-A Erie, head to big league camp with the Tigers next Spring Training, compete for a roster spot, then maybe open the season at Triple-A Toledo if they didn’t make the Opening Day club. Then, with a flurry
The Detroit Tigers moved their top pitching prospects Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal to the big leagues in 2020. Embarking on their first full MLB season, the arms of the future are no longer considered prospects. But the organization’s farm system hasn’t missed a beat. The Tigers are ranked No. 6 in Baseball America’s midseason rankings,
One hit. That’s all the Detroit Tigers fans packing Comerica Park — well, as much as they could (and maybe more than) in a pandemic — were hoping for, all weekend long. And, of course, the baseball gods obliged as they often do: One hit. By Harold Castro. To break up a perfect game on

Gregory Soto trotted up the clubhouse stairs and into the dugout at Camden Yards in Baltimore. He wasn’t going to pitch because he closed the previous two games, putting the Detroit Tigers in a position to sweep the Orioles. Regardless, Soto was preparing for three consecutive days of work, something manager AJ Hinch tries to avoid at all
The Detroit Tigers are starting to see the fruits of a well-stocked farm system. Pitchers such as Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal, who made their major-league debuts last season but still retained prospect status, helped the Tigers open the season with Baseball America’s No. 4 farm system. And, though, Mize and Skubal have since graduated, the
The Erie SeaWolves are the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, and play at the beautifully updated UPMC Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. UPMC Park has been home to the Erie SeaWolves since 1995. The ballpark is more than just a great place to watch high-quality, professional baseball. The home of the SeaWolves is a great
The wait continues. The Tigers closed out a disappointing home series against Cleveland over the weekend, dropping two of three, almost getting no-hit by Triston McKenzie and seeing Miguel Cabrera remain one home run shy of 500.

What a weekend. It’s like Comerica Park came alive and Detroit Tigers fans learned how to be fans again. Doing the wave. Screaming like crazy. While waiting for Miguel Cabrera to hit his 500th home run. MORE FROM SEIDEL: Tigers fans didn’t need a home run to show their love for Miguel Cabrera “It’s unbelievable,”

DETROIT — No, Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene aren’t coming to the big leagues in 2021. But they’ll finish out the summer right down the road.
