Latest news and updates about the Tigers
This right-hander is arguably the Detroit Tigers’ top pure relief prospect. While the Tigers have a clutch of starting pitcher prospects ranked more highly, such as Jake Miller, Andrew Sears, and Kelvis Salcedo, who might ultimately be best converted to bullpen arms at the major league level, Rodriguez could be on the fast track to […]
On Monday, the Braves were able to earn another Spring Training victory over the Detroit Tigers. It was a game where the starting pitching depth of the Braves was on full display, as Bryce Elder, Joey Wentz, and Owen Murphy all threw multiple innings. While it is likely unwise to expect big things from any […]
Well we’ve been waiting for broadcasting details since the Detroit Tigers left their partnership with FanDuel Sports Network in January. Today they announced the launch of Detroit SportsNet, a dedicated channel/app for local markets that will carry the Detroit Tigers and, starting with the 2026-2027 season, the Detroit Red Wings as well. The package is […]

It’s a road spring training game, folks, so that means the Atlanta Braves are going to be letting their organizational depth shine in this one. With that being said, there’s still plenty of reason to tap in. Bryce Elder is right in the thick of the race for the final spot in the rotation and […]
The first few weeks of spring training are notoriously fickle in terms of work on the field actually meaning anything. Teams run out hoards of minor league pitchers. A few minor league hitters will be red hot briefly before returning to their mean as Triple-A depth. MLB caliber regulars may struggle as they wait to […]
Jays 4 Tigers 4 I know it is spring and all, but I’d like a win again, one day. But we were able to watch a bunch of minor league types (some of whom I had never heard of) Pitchers: Hitters, Starters: Others: The Jays are now 2-6-2 on the spring. Tomorrow, the Jays are […]
We don’t get many regulars today, who wants to work on a Sunday (more like who wants to ride the bus to Lakeland on a Sunday). Our starter is Grant Rogers who pitched in Vancouver and New Hampshire last year. And there are only a couple of guys in the batting order who are sure […]

Spring training, left unchecked, can be a bit of a drag. After the excitement of the opening of camp and the first Grapefruit League action, what follows can be a six week slog of games that don’t count for anything. Veteran players often opine that spring camp goes on too long, and by the time […]

On a lovely Saturday afternoon, the Tigers settled in for their final two games of the Mizzou Invitational — below-freezing temps canceled the Sunday matchup — hopefully letting the offense fly and the pitching do its thing. Well, friends, for the second day in a row, as was the case for the first game. The […]
By this time of year, we’re often a bit exhausted with prospect lists and rankings. Baseball America, Keith Law, Baseball Prospectus, MLB Pipeline, and our own re-ranking of the Detroit Tigers farm system are already a month or more in the books. But FanGraphs does a particularly detailed job for the most part, and often […]
From the start of Detroit Tigers described Dillon Dingler as close to returning to full action after an arthroscopic procedure to clean up his right elbow. Still, the status of their starting catcher remaining uncertain was a little bit disconcerting, though Dingler was notably present catching bullpens on the backfields over the past two weeks. […]
The Tigers released a full schedule for televised Grapefruit League broadcasts on Friday. However, we’re still waiting on the details for Tigers TV and how and when games will be broadcast on local cable providers. The club thought those details would be finalized this week, but apparently we’re not quite there yet. In the meantime, […]

MLB and the Detroit Tigers social media team are pestering players daily with light-hearted questions when not roasting Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal for their coffee obsession. MLB had kind of a fun one yesterday that had a few of us cracking up trying to think of the ideal actor or celebrity voice to use […]

The Orioles are 3-2-1 through their first six Grapefruit League games. They had a tie with the Tigers on the road back on Sunday. The two teams – with very different lineups, because it’s early in spring training and this one is in Sarasota instead – will be back at it again today. This game […]
Over the last decade or so, it has felt like the balance of power in baseball has been shifting in favor of the pitchers. Paul Skenes just posted an ERA under 2.00 again, our very own Tarik Skubal is gunning for his third straight Cy Young Award, and hoards of flamethrowing relievers come out of […]
Hello, friends. Today marks exactly one month until Orioles Opening Day! The team will be playing exhibition games from now through March 23 to get ready for that. After yesterday’s 4-3 victory over the Rays, the Orioles are now 3-2-1 in Grapefruit League action. Awaiting today is a 1:05 game against the Tigers that will […]

Today’s Jays’ game is not on TV, one of the few that aren’t on TV. The game is at Lakeland, Florida in the Tigers’ spring park, Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium which has to be up there on the list of longest ballpark names, as well as getting two sponsor names into it. It […]
