We had another great game today and this time, there was no controversy. Venezuela 4, Italy 2 Italy took an early lead, but Venezuela rallied with a three-run seventh inning to end Italy’s magical run in the World Baseball Classic. Italy actually broke out to an early lead when Tigers pitcher Keider Montero struggled to […]

The Tigers have reached the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, only to fall in the ALDS. They’re the only team in the division projected to have a top ten payroll, and the expectations are for them to make a serious run at their first pennant since 2012. Not only are they spending […]
We don’t generally go out of order with our spring prospect reports, but the timing is too good for Jordan Yost. The Detroit Tigers first round pick last summer stepped to the plate for his first at-bat as a professional on Sunday afternoon and made a little magic. The Tampa native had friends and family […]
On December 8, 2009, the Yankees were part of a three-team trade that brought Curtis Granderson’s big smile to the Bronx. New York acquired the center fielder from the Detroit Tigers while sending Austin Jackson and Phil Coke to Detroit and Ian Kennedy to Arizona. The larger trade also included Edwin Jackson going from Detroit […]
After an incredibly long drought of middle infielders since the days when Willy Adames and Eugenio Suarez were young Detroit Tigers shortstop prospects, a new golden era is upon us as the Tigers farm system is suddenly packed with middle infielders. This has been a clear focal point to the club’s revamped draft strategy in […]
Summoning all the optimism a person can after a 12-1 run loss, the best I could offer in reference to Luis Gil’s disastrous Sunday performance is this: “At least he didn’t walk a boatload of people.” The Yankees’ starter lined up to face a pretty strong Tigers lineup, and his inability to keep the ball […]

Results be damned, Max Fried was healthy and pitched five-plus frames on Saturday, which is really all we want to see from this team’s current top pitcher. Wrapping up the weekend, the Yankees will play a splt-sqquad doubleheader on Sunday, starting with a matchup against a familiar face on an unfamiliar team. One of the […]
The World Baseball Classic continues to be the most fun you can have with March baseball. Move over March Madness. On Saturday night, an absolute classic unfolded as Team Venezuela took on Team Japan in a back and forth slugfest that saw the Venezuelans advance to the semifinals with a wild 8-5 victory. Detroit Tigers’ […]
Tigers 6 Blue Jays 1 Another great start from Max Scherzer. He went 4.2 scoreless innings, 2 hits, 2 walks and 5 strikeouts. He threw 65 pitches. It looks like he’s already ready for the regular season. Two start and no earned runs against. Other pitchers: Batters, starters: Others: Jays are 8-11 on the spring. […]

While the prep pitchers have dealt with injury, the Detroit Tigers continue to do well in the college ranks. Outside of Jackson Jobe, most of their pitching success on the farm has come from finding undervalued college arms like Troy Melton, Jake Miller, Andrew Sears, Lucas Elissalt, and Jaden Hamm. Other than Melton, the group […]
When a team — say, the Detroit Tigers — has, arguably, one of the best pitchers on the planet — maybe someone like Tarik Skubal — and their control of that pitcher is in its last season, it would make sense to seize the moment and try to win it all. Further, let’s posit that […]
Drafting prep position players with their top picks has been the core of the Detroit Tigers’ draft strategy since Scott Harris took over the club from Al Avila. It’s gone very, very well. Despite fears about the longer timelines involved, Kevin McGonigle, Max Clark, and Bryce Rainer are all ranked in the top half of […]
Sorry this was scheduled to go up and it didn’t. The Jays play the Tigers today, in Dunedin. Tarik Skubal and Max Scherzer are the starting pitchers I’m putting this together Friday Night, so I don’t have the starting lineup. Also Puerto Rico is playing Italy at 3:00 Eastern. Seth Lugo starts for PR. Sam […]
The lights went out at Taylor Stadium for 95 minutes. In sync, so were Missouri baseball’s chances of generating a late comeback in its 2-0 loss to No.6 Auburn in its SEC home opener at Taylor Stadium Friday evening. By the time the bulbs had flickered back on, a window for a Missouri rally had […]

In a sense, spring warm up is just ending now and something like the actual competition for the final roster spots ramping up over the final two weeks of Grapefruit League action. The first weeks are mainly just stretching out into game shape and getting rhythm and timing going, both at the plate and on […]
Not that it really matters, but the New York Yankees are tied for the Grapefruit League lead with a 13-6 record after beating the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. On Friday, they will visit the Atlanta Braves in North Port, with left-hander Ryan Weathers looking to bounce back after putting up a stinker the last time […]
The prep pitcher theme continues at number 18 with right-hander Owen Hall. At least the now 20-year-old Hall got on the mound last spring for a few games before going down with a stress reaction in his right shoulder. Considering how things have gone with their prep pitchers from the draft, the Tigers didn’t hesitate […]
One of the most anticipated minor league debuts this season will be Zach Swanson embarking on his first pro season. The right-hander is another in the Detroit Tigers stash of prep pitchers they’ve drafted over the last three years who immediately went down with a major injury. The theory is that they can add a […]
In 2019, a 16-year-old Jasson Domínguez became a multi-millionaire, coming to terms on a $5.2 million signing bonus with America’s most iconic franchise. In the just under seven years since, he’s encountered a lot, from losing a year of development due to COVID-19 to his minor-league breakout and rapid MLB debut to Tommy John surgery […]
