The Tigers continue to be a heck of a fun team to watch. The blowout of the Texas Rangers on Monday night aside, we’re closing in on three straight months with the Tigers as an above average team. This despite serious weaknesses in the rotation and lineup, and a defensive unit that until recently had
While the 2021 Draft is still very fresh in everyone’s memories, scouts don’t get to rest on their laurels. After taking a minute of congratulations for putting one Draft in the books, they almost immediately have to turn around and start evaluating the Class of 2022. All summer, scouts will scour events like the recently
Hopes for a quick return to action for Detroit Tigers righthander Spencer Turnbull were already fading in recent weeks as the team indicated that he was still dealing with discomfort. Unfortunately, the worst scenario was confirmed Tuesday afternoon as the club announced that the 28-year-old will undergo UCL reconstruction surgery. The timing for Turnbull couldn’t
Tigers breakout right-hander Spencer Turnbull will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the 2021 season after tests revealed chronic damage in his right elbow, manager A.J. Hinch announced before Tuesday night’s game against the Rangers. Turnbull, 28, went 4-2 with a 2.88 ERA in nine starts this season, two years after being
The Texas Rangers arrived at Comerica Park with back-to-back shutouts hanging over them, seeking to escape a putrid start to the second half of the season. Across the diamond, the Detroit Tigers were fresh off a three-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins. “They call them trap series for a reason,” manager AJ Hinch said before
Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers went through his normal pregame routine ahead of Monday’s series opener against the Texas Rangers. He reported his “arm was bugging him,” manager AJ Hinch said after his team’s 14-0 win at Comerica Park.

Pistons fans are counting the days until the NBA Draft on July 29, and potentially getting Cade Cunningham with the No. 1 pick.

The Summer of the Bird will always be my main introduction to Detroit Tigers baseball as we lived with each thrilling start by young Mark Fidrych. Here we are 45 years later and for the first time, I can recall another young player has burst out of nowhere to capture the hearts and imaginations of…
Ty Madden stood behind the batting cage, watching Miguel Cabrera take batting practice on Monday afternoon in Comerica Park. Madden, who the Detroit Tigers drafted 32nd overall, had just signed a $2.5 million contract — $242,700 above slot value. And it started to dawn on him. Professional baseball is no longer a childhood fantasy. “I’m
The Detroit Tigers produced a football score against the Texas Rangers, so it was only natural for them to bring the Cowboys into their trolling. When you win a baseball game by double-digits, you’re entitled to have a little fun on social media.
The Tigers announced Monday that they’ve agreed to terms with No. 32 overall pick Ty Madden. The now-former Texas right-hander signed for a $2.5MM bonus that comes in north of his slot’s $2,257,300 value, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports (via Twitter).

Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, and Matt Manning — all arrived in Detroit during the past, unsettled year when baseball was blasted by COVID-19’s disruptions, and worse. Derek Hill and Jake Rogers — both are playing, and making a difference, at Comerica Park. Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson and Dillon Dingler should win a ticket to Motown at some point
Detroit – The numbers on this night were big, gaudy, some historic, and lopsided in favor of the Tigers, who put a freefalling Texas Rangers team to rout at Comerica Park Monday, 14-0. “We did a lot of things to put pressure on them,” manager AJ Hinch said. “We kept taking what the game gave
Miguel Cabrera kept moving on up the career leaderboards, this time with a 5 RBI night that tied him with David Ortiz on the all-time list. Akil Baddoo added 4 RBI of his own, while Victor Reyes enjoyed a 4-hit night as the Tigers rolled to a 14-0 win over the Rangers.

“Puttin’ in work, making the moves, ready to play.” If you listen to the radio broadcasts, you’ve likely heard this a bazillion times in a commercial for some car company or another, I can’t remember which one. (Datsun? Saturn? Yugo? One of those, I think.) But, I’ll tell ya this, the Tigers’ bats came alive
DETROIT — The last time Miguel Cabrera drove in five runs in a game without hitting a homer, he hit a two-run double off a Royals rookie starter and former No. 1 overall Draft pick named Luke Hochevar. Cabrera also drove in Carlos Guillen three different times. That was July 21, 2008, in the midst
