Izaac Pacheco provides power as a left-handed hitter. His hands and feet are smooth enough to guarantee defensive stability somewhere on the field and his arm is powerful and accurate. It’s easy to imagine Pacheco hitting fifth or sixth in a big-league batting order, possibly as a third baseman or corner outfielder. But the Detroit Tigers

No, Gregory Soto didn’t get to pitch to Juan Soto like he wanted in Tuesday’s All-Star Game at Coors Field. The Tigers reliever missed the Nationals slugger by one batter. The former still seemed to have an enjoyable time at the Midsummer Classic, J.T. Realmuto home run aside. Soto, the Tigers’ lone representative at this
Before the Detroit Tigers clashed with the Chicago White Sox on July 4, Gregory Soto learned he would represent his team in All-Star Game.

Toledo, Ohio – The Mud Hens started their six game series with the Iowa Cubs on the right foot, securing a 2-1 victory. The pitching was superb all night for the Hens, with starter Mark Leiter Jr. making one of his best starts of the season. His final line was 5.0 IP, 3 H, 1

After a 7-3 loss to the Twins on May 7, the Tigers were a dismal 9-24, and Jonathan Schoop was hitting only .185/.217/.250 through his first 115 plate appearances of the 2021 season. Since that date, however, things have greatly improved for both player and team. Detroit has quietly gone 31-27 over the last two-plus

Based on how COVID messed up 2020’s scouting season, the Tigers might be in line, ironically, for something of a gift from Tuesday’s final 10 rounds of the 20-round Major League Baseball Draft.

The dust is still settling from the 2021 MLB Draft, but teams like the Detroit Tigers are already hard at work scouting for next year’s draft. There was even a high-school all-star game in Denver last weekend, though with MLB’s muddled schedule of events, you can be forgiven for missing it.
We asked fans on twitter to submit their best questions for Casey Mize, and they delivered. Host Daniella Bruce appreciates the assistance, but not as much as she appreciates Casey’s thoughts on teammate Jake Rogers’ mustache…which is proving to be somewhat controversial.

By Ronald Blum | Associated Press Denver — Banning or limiting defensive shifts would be an effort to restore Major League Baseball to how it was played before offense was suffocated by analytics, according to baseball commissioner Rob Manfred.
