Three games into the Cactus League and the A’s have collected twenty-five hits, resulting in only four runs and zero wins. Their run differential currently sits at negative nineteen, better than the Detroit Tigers by a single run. The only team with more losses are the Milwaukee Brewers, and that’s only because they’ve played more […]
Something the Detroit Tigers have lacked for a long, long time is speed. Sure, they have some players who can run and plenty who grade out around average, but I’m talking about a real burner. A guy who is a threat to steal a bag every time he gets on base. At various times over […]

First Pitch (CT): 12:05TV: NARadio: Tigers – WXYT 1270Know Yo’ Foe: Bless You Boys We don’t normally include a lot of info on Spring Training games, but let’s try a new “what to watch” section since stats and results and ultimate don’t matter. I suppose today, “what to watch” would be more “what to look […]
The Detroit Tigers prep leaning draft classes under Scott Harris have pointed the organization in a new direction in talent acquisition over the last three years. While his draft classes were more college heavy, former GM Al Avila had some success in the prep ranks as well, drafting Riley Greene and then hitting on Colt […]
It’s almost that time again: the sixth edition of the World Baseball Classic, played once every four-ish years, is starting on March 4 with Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) playing Australia in the Tokyo Dome. The last edition was in 2023; there should have been tournaments in 2021 and 2025, but a global pandemic got in the […]

If you’ve gotten accustomed to Orioles spring training games being on television after the first two games of the schedule, tough luck today. No video feed! The game will at least be broadcast on 98 Rock (97.9 FM) in the Baltimore vicinity, or online anywhere you can access that feed. The O’s are on the […]
Well Game 1 of spring training is in the books, and let’s just forget that one happened, ok? The Yankees bludgeoned a chorus of Tigers minor league relievers to win 20-3 on Saturday. Yeah, it doesn’t matter, but nobody likes getting shelled out of the park. The key notes on the Tigers’ side was a […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Aaron Judge and Spencer Jones both went deep on Saturday as the Yankees steamrolled the Detroit Tigers 20-3. Jones’ homer was no cheapy, leaving the bat at 111.7 mph and traveling an official 408 feet (though the outfielder chided that metric as conservative). Judge expressed optimism about Jones’ reworked swing. “He doesn’t […]

Elmer Rodríguez showed why he’s the Yankees’ top pitching prospect in yesterday’s Grapefruit League opener, and today is Carlos Lagrange’s first chance to impress as he also makes a case for some 2026 MLB playing time. Lagrange stands a dominant 6-foot-7 with a 70-grade fastball and above-average slider, and while he finished last year with […]
One of my all-time favourites, Devon Travis, turns 35 today. Travis joined the Blue Jays in a trade with the Tigers on November 13, 2014, with Anthony Gose heading to Detroit. Travis ranked #84 on Baseball America’s top 100 prospects list. Gose, though speedy, had been a disappointment for us, hitting .247/.315/.363 with 34 stolen […]
On Saturday, we get to watch the Detroit Tigers play a baseball game for the first time since their ALDS loss to the Mariners. A lot has happened in the interim, and it’s great to be back. Truth be told, how to watch Tigers baseball is still up in the air as Grapefruit League action […]
Happy Friday, everyone! We’ve made it through the week, thank goodness, and our reward is the official return of baseball games! Sure, you can say Spring Training doesn’t matter, but tell that to a fan who has been starved for live games since October. The Tigers won’t have their first game until tomorrow, but hey, […]
For me, there’s a clear answer here but it’s not the one you’re thinking. There’s division rivals and the historic, heated division races the Twins have had with the Tigers through the 2000s and White Sox in the late 2010s. There’s the Yankees, the source of Minnesota’s postseason misery for nearly two decades. The Dodgers […]
Heading into last year’s Spring Training, one-time pitching coach J.P. Martinez was excited by the prospect of having “15 or 16 legitimate starters” to work with and the overall feeling that — especially with the signing of Justin Verlander — the team had an almost glut of pitching depth. Depth doesn’t always mean starting pitching, […]
The Detroit Tigers were teasing new alternate jerseys all week on their social media accounts. On Thursday they finally introduced a new navy blue road jersey with orange script, and the bright orange road jerseys with the Olde English D for Friday night home games. The Tigers spent 18 months researching the idea and conducting […]
While most of us were hard at work at our 9-5, the LSU Baseball team improved to 5-0 with a good ole fashion mid-afternoon beating over Nicholls 12-1. Nicholls drew first blood with its lone run in the top half of the first, but LSU answered right back with a five-spot in the home half […]
Clemson sent the fans home in time for an early dinner after run-ruling the 49’s in the 7th inning in a game, bringing the Tigers’ early-season record to 3-0 with a weekend series against the Bryant Bulldogs on deck. Clemson’s towering right-handed freshman pitcher Eston Simpson looked solid in the first work of his Tiger […]
Action is starting to pick up in spring camp as the beginning of Grapefruit League play looms ahead this weekend. The Tigers will kick off their 2026 spring schedule on Saturday at 1:05 p.m. ET on the road against the Yankees. Then they’ll welcome in the Orioles and the Twins on Sunday and Monday at […]
Last offseason, the Rays acquired Mason Englert from the Tigers for Drew Sommers, adding a flexible, multi-inning arm with option years. Englert fit that role well, posting solid results while working more than one inning in nearly half his appearances. But the interesting question is whether the Rays should ask for more. Marc Topkin reported […]
Spring training is officially here now that the Detroit Tigers have reported to Lakeland to begin their preseason workouts. The excitement in the air is palpable as winter fades, leaving the smell of fresh-cut grass and clay wafting through the air. Getting down to Florida — or Arizona — for the rebirth of baseball is […]
We lamented the Detroit Tigers lack of success in the international free agent market in our Roberto Campos report, but there is another wave coming. Josue Briceño, consensus top 100 prospect, leads the way, along with young pitching prospect Kelvis Salcedo, but the Tigers do have some interesting young IFA signings that will be playing […]
