The Detroit Tigers put four prospects on Baseball America’s midseason top 100 rankings released Monday. The four players to receive honors: first/third baseman Spencer Torkelson, outfielder Riley Greene, right-hander Matt Manning and right-hander Jackson Jobe. The Tigers selected Jobe — from Heritage Hall High School in Oklahoma City — with the No. 3 overall pick in
In an hour, he, Dillon Dingler, Billy Lescher, and nine other Erie SeaWolves teammates were to be on the tee, swinging golf clubs in a Monday scramble. A day earlier, Spencer Torkelson had been working with his buddies playing baseball in a Sunday game that saw Erie whip Binghamton, 9-6. Torkelson had pounded a RBI
The MLB trade deadline is looming and talk naturally turns to “buy or sell” all around baseball, including the Detroit Tigers. Perhaps given the events of this summer and talk of contract extensions by fans it’s better to ask, “ring or no ring for these players?”
Over the past month, Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila has made it quite clear that the club is done rebuilding. They won’t be dumping expiring contracts. They won’t be dealing away anyone not tied down. In short, we can probably expect a very quiet week until the trade deadline on Friday, July 30th. Of
Things certainly haven’t gone the way they expected in the Twin Cities. They’re currently four and a half games behind the Detroit Tigers, and stuck in last place in the AL Central. A minor sell off is also underway that can only help the Tigers turn their road trip around after getting swept by the
The Detroit Tigers can boast another top 100 prospect in their farm system. Baseball America revealed its midseason top 100 on Monday, with the Tigers’ first-round pick in this month’s MLB Draft, Jackson Jobe, squeaking in at No. 96. The Tigers selected Jobe, a right-handed pitcher from Heritage Hall High School in Oklahoma City, at No. 3 overall.
It was a good run. After ripping off seven straight the Tigers went into Kansas City as excited as an Australian Olympic swimming coach. The bengal-striped Icarus that was Detroit baseball flew too close to the Kansas City sun and quickly returned to Earth ending up on the wrong end of a series sweep. Up
Detroit Tigers rookie righthander Matt Manning has debuted in the major leagues, and put together several solid starts in the process. As we weren’t even necessarily expecting to see him in a Tigers uniform until after the All-Star break this year, the 2021 season hasn’t exactly gone badly for him. Still, things clearly haven’t gone
Toledo Mud Hens 7, Indianapolis Indians 3 (box) The Hens offense blew up Indy pitching on Sunday to take the series 4-2. And once again, it was Christin Stewart and Aderlin Rodriguez in the thick of things. Rodriguez has been a beast for the Hens all season, but Stewart has been red hot as well.
COMSTOCK PARK, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps enjoyed a career day from starting pitcher Adam Wolf in a 3-0 shutout of the Lansing Lugnuts in front of 4,225 fans Sunday evening at LMCU Ballpark. Wolf had one of his best games as a professional, tossing six innings of shutout baseball with no hits and

These are not sexy numbers. No matter what your baseball age, no matter what level you’re playing. Roberto Campos has a.214 batting average in 15 games. His on-base average is .267, with a .677 OPS. Also note that three of his 12 hits have been home runs. More to the point, understand he is 18
The Tigers are 47-53, 12 games behind the White Sox for the division lead. Their fate was sealed by a disastrous April when they went 8-19 to start the year. Since then, they’ve actually put together three consecutive winnings months, including an 11-8 mark so far in July. These Tigers have played perhaps the most

Rookie left-hander Tarik Skubal put the Detroit Tigers behind from the start. The first four Kansas City Royals he faced damaged him by tagging his fastball: Whit Merrifield doubled, Carlos Santana singled, Salvador Perez crushed a 454-foot three-run home run and Jorge Soler followed with a 425-foot solo blast. “Maybe one too many fastballs to Whit, but
Kansas City, Mo. — The Tigers will not visit Kauffman Stadium again this season and after the way things went this weekend, they’re probably OK with that. And we’re not talking about the oppressive heat. The Royals hit three home runs in three innings off rookie left-hander Tarik Skubal Sunday and completed the three-game weekend sweep
The SeaWolves outlasted the Binghamton Rumble Ponies on Sunday afternoon in another wild affair on the road. Binghamton smacked four home runs against Erie pitching, but the SeaWolves scored in four consecutive innings to take the series finale 9-6. Riley Greene scored three runs for the second game in a row, and Spencer Trokelson drove
Ichiro Suzuki once mentioned his favourite English expression involved the description of how hot day games in Kansas City are. (There’s some bleeped NSFW language in that clip.) Well, today in KC was one of those days, and the Tigers certainly felt the heat as they got defeated 6-1, and thus swept by the Royals
Preventing the long ball had been an issue in back-to-back losses for the Tigers entering Sunday. That issue came back to haunt Detroit in the series finale against the Royals, as starter Tarik Skubal could not limit the damage in the early stages of his outing during the Tigers’ 6-1 loss at Kauffman Stadium. Skubal
