Latest news and updates about the Tigers
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Baseball After Mizzou Baseball’s 5-1 Braggin’ Rights win over Illinois on Tuesday night, the Tigers couldn’t pull of the sweep in the St. Louis area. A 10-4 loss to Lindenwood drops Missouri’s overall record to 17-9 on the season. While Missouri has already surpassed their […]

Max Clark was never going to make the Opening Day roster, and no doubt wasn’t thrilled with some of his work in spring camp, but none of that matters now. The precocious 21-year-old center fielder broke out in a big way in 2025, and is well ahead of pace to reach the major leagues. It […]
The Detroit Tigers have generally maintained a policy of not playing any of their prep draft picks until the following year, and so the Spring Breakout games each spring have become a sort of coming out party for the next wave of prospects each March. This year we saw Jordan Yost, Michael Oliveto, and Cris […]
The Detroit Tigers open up their 2026 campaign on Thursday afternoon on the West Coast against a National League opponent for the second-straight year, looking to make it to the playoffs for a third-straight season. This summer’s edition of the Olde English D has a bit more beef to it than that of last year’s, especially with […]
Switch-hitting outfielder Wenceel Pérez entered camp this spring needing to make a strong case for an Opening Day outfield slot. He failed to do so, putting up ugly numbers all spring. Yet even in the final game of spring camp, he launched a pair of home runs, including one at 108.5 mph, illustrating why he […]

We’re almost there, folks. It’s time for one last hurrah at Salt River Fields before the Colorado Rockies ship out to Florida to open the 2026 season up against the Miami Marlins. Opening Day is almost here! To wrap up spring training, the Rockies will face off against the Detroit Tigers for the second straight […]
The Detroit Tigers made the decision everyone was waiting for all spring, announcing on Tuesday that top prospect, infielder Kevin McGonigle, has made the Opening Day roster. The 21-year-old McGonigle hit a pair of homers in Grapefruit League play, and another tape measure shot off Athetlics’ starter Luis Severino in an exhibition tune-up for Team […]

It’s official. Nick Pivetta will start for the San Diego Padres this Thursday. They’ll put up their best fight on Opening Day against fearsome lefty Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers as they seek to return to the postseason for the third year in a row. Pivetta will be the fourth starting pitcher in as […]
We’ve talked quite a bit about the Detroit Tigers’ long-term drought in the international free agent market throughout our spring prospect coverage. Players like Wenceel Pérez and Keider Montero have at least provided some value the past few seasons, but it’s been a long time since the Tigers found a really good major leaguer outside […]
As the saying goes, prospect development isn’t linear. Switch-hitting catcher Thayron Liranzo entered the 2025 season as a top 100 prospect, lauded for his potential 70 grade raw power and his ongoing improvements behind the plate. He was only 21 at the time, and while he was riding high after a good breakout season at […]
This edition of Photos of the Week is all about Dan Murphy’s coverage of the Tigers’ first round game against Miami. The outcome definitely wasn’t what Mizzou fans wanted, but Dan came back with a lot of work he should be proud of. Hopefully seeing some nice photo work helps to soothe the sting of […]
As the Red Sox approach Opening Day, it’s time to start taking a look at the other American League playoff contenders. Next up, a team that’s led by the best pitcher on the planet. What’s this team’s deal? For the past few seasons, The Tigers have been Tarik Skubal and the Skubettes. Fans, who are […]
Of course, projecting the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens roster is also a sneaky excuse for one more final projection of the Detroit Tigers Opening Day roster. Nothing has really changed at the major league level. I expect Kevin McGonigle and Parker Meadows to be with the Tigers on Opening Day, and for some combination of […]
Thomas Harding announced this morning that Rockies right-hander RJ Petit (No. 23 PuRP) has undergone Tommy John surgery after suffering the initial injury on March 4 against Team USA. Petit was selected by the Rockies in the first round of the Rule 5 Draft back in December from the Detroit Tigers. The 6’8” righty was […]
Detroit Tigers’ infield prospect Hao-Yu Lee didn’t have the type of camp he was looking for this spring, but he remains one of the club’s best hopes for hitting help from the farm system in 2026. He was far enough ahead of the curve as a prospect that even now, after a full season of […]
The Detroit Tigers closed out their 2026 Grapefruit League schedule with a strong performance from Framber Valdez, Drew Anderson, and Tyler Holton in a 3-1 victory over the Yankees on Saturday. Now the club, including prospects like Kevin McGonigle, Max Anderson, Trei Cruz, and John Peck, heads out to Scottdale, Arizona for two exhibition games […]
I do grow weary of spring training games. My standing rule of baseball is that if you’re going to be a boring game, you better be short, and today’s contest against the Tigers was boring but about as long as a real matchup. The Yankees pushed across just a single run in the Saturday matinee, […]

We’re just days away from the season starting for real, and that can make the remaining Grapefruit League showdowns feel kind of underwhelming. For today at least, the big hook is the starting pitching matchup, with one of the game’s most reliable workhorses facing one of its bright up-and-comers, as the Yankees travel down to […]
Join us as the Detroit Tigers farm system matches up against Konnor Griffin and the Pittsburgh Pirates farm system in the annual Spring Breakout game. The Tigers will have Max Clark in center field and 2025 first rounder Jordan Yost at shortstop in the starting lineup, with Bryce Rainer in the DH slot and hard-throwing […]
