Drafted No. 9 overall in 2016, Detroit Tigers right-handed pitching prospect Manning has climbed the farm system’s ladder. The 23-year-old now gets to pitch in Triple-A games, starting in Tuesday’s season opener at Fifth Third Field against Nashville, meaning the next step in his development would be his MLB debut. Assuming all goes as planned, that will happen this season. “It’s
The NFL Draft is always a good reminder that the MLB Draft is only two months away. Though it’s later than usual this year, starting on July 11th, the Detroit Tigers have a plethora of picks in the top 100, picking at 3, 32, 39, and 74. They even pick at 103, too. Let’s face
If there is one overwhelming flaw in the Detroit Tigers attempt to rebuild the franchise, it’s the lack of trade return in the 2017 sell-off. While the Chicago White Sox landed Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease for starter Jose Quintana earlier that summer, the Tigers have yet to see anything from the Justin Verlander deal
We’re not going to take a lot of time breaking down what’s gone wrong with the Tigers offense so far this season. They were supposed to be mediocre, not terrible, and mediocre remains the ceiling even if the lineup normalizes toward career numbers. Potential moves available are liable to be of the band-aid over open
By Harvey Valentine | Associated Press Washington — Max Scherzer delivered in a hurry, tossing a five-hitter to lead the Washington Nationals over the Miami Marlins 3-1. Then it was on to more important matters. Scherzer hustled out of Nationals Park after a game that took only 2 hours, 37 minutes, hurrying to be with wife Erica
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch doesn’t consider Jose Urena‘s start on Sunday a wasted effort. The Tigers need their starting pitchers to execute as often as possible, considering their offensive struggles. So, Hinch prefers to think of Urena’s start as a missed opportunity. “He was in complete control,” Hinch said. “I mean, he was incredible. It’s

With one month of the season down, you’re sure to see all sorts of “Who’s in the MVP running?” pieces littering your various sources of baseball-related news and updates. (We’ve done a few ourselves!) But when you are watching one team in particular — your team in particular — you’re looking for your best player:
Forgive those fans at West Michigan — those merry folks already loving their promotion to the high side of Single-A baseball — who wanted Riley Greene to do a 2021 encore as the Whitecaps this week begin playing honest-to-gosh baseball for the first time in 20 months. Ah, but the Tigers had other ideas. Greene is

If there were a reason to move Miguel Cabrera down in the batting order, Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch wouldn’t hesitate to have the conversation. But the Tigers (8-21) have lost 14 of their past 16 games because of offensive shortcomings. After Jeimer Candelario’s .278 batting average, the next best everyday player is Wilson Ramos at .218,
New York — The Tigers hitters made Corey Kluber feel like it was 2018 all over again. The two-time Cy Young winner came into the series finale with a 4.15 ERA and a 1.7 WHIP, a far cry from the pitcher that used to give the Tigers fits when he wore an Indians jersey. But

Right-hander Jose Urena did as much as he could to keep the Detroit Tigers competitive in the three-game series finale, pitching to weak contact, flashing his never-quit mentality to complete seven strong innings. The offense, however, forgot to show up. The Tigers (8-21) lost their fifth contest in a row, 2-0, to the New York

I love the Detroit Tigers. Chances are if you are reading this article so do you. If you follow me on Twitter you know I despise tanking. Tanking is for losers and losing should never be rewarded. All the incentives for this scorched earth method employed by some teams who don’t mind making their fans…

Another day, another feeble performance from the Tigers offense. The only question this season has been whether the starting pitcher would keep them in the game or not. On Sunday, Jose Ureña handled a terrifying Yankees lineup with little trouble, but this lineup full of windmills generated no power and went down in a 2-0
José Ureña can’t do anything about the Tigers’ offense, not in the American League anyway. All he can do is pitch. He’s looking better at that with each start. And as Detroit continues its search for a consistent, productive offense, Ureña is at least giving them a chance to stay in games. Time and again
New York — Miguel Cabrera is a slam dunk, first-ballot Hall-of-Famer. He also went into the game Sunday hitting an untenable .125 with three extra-base hits and five RBIs. This can be a nightmare scenario for a manager, as both Brad Ausmus and Ron Gardenhire can attest from their time managing in Detroit. Do you move
