Julio Teheran bet on himself and took a Minor League contract with the Tigers last month rather than some Major League offers from other clubs. He’s officially won that bet, making Detroit’s Opening Day roster. Tarik
Lakeland, Fla. — Oh man, it would’ve been such a cool moment. Just imagine. Manager AJ Hinch lets rookie Tarik Skubal pitch to one batter in the fifth inning. Gives him one more up-down, gets to his pitch-count and as he’s taking the ball from him says, “Oh, and by the way, you’ve made the team.
LAKELAND, Fla. — The Detroit Tigers were forced to make a decision Wednesday about right-hander Julio Teheran: Give him a roster spot or let him walk.

As spring training draws to a close and we have a better idea of what the Detroit Tigers have on their roster, we also have an idea of how the prospect scene looks. From the Statcast highlights of Riley Greene to Spencer Torkelson’s slow start, those are some of the changes on the prospect front.

Maybe Tarik Skubal’s Spring Training was going too smoothly. The Tigers had seen plenty of examples of how he could dominate a lineup. Tuesday gave manager A.J.
