Josue Briceno homers twice, Lakeland wins in extras
(F/8) Toledo Mud Hens 8, Columbus Clippers 6 (box) It was another rough one for Sawyer Gipson-Long, but Toledo’s offense and bullpen held things together to get the first win of the series. SGL only lasted 1.2 innings, giving up four runs in the second inning on a homer, a walk, a double and two […]
Scouting the prospects traded to Detroit for Tarik Skubal
On Saturday night, just a little before midnight, Jeff Passan of ESPN broke the news that the Detroit Tigers and the Los Angeles Dodgers were finalizing a trade for ace left-hander, Tarik Skubal. In return, the Tigers receive 21-year-old corner outfielder, Zyhir Hope, 27-year-old right-hander River Ryan, and 21-year-old right-handed pitcher Brady Smith. First reaction? […]
Max Clark cracks first MLB homer as Tigers survive late scare
After Friday night’s easy win with you-know-who making his big-league debut, Saturday night’s contest was a little closer than it should have been. Obviously the bigger news of the evening was regarding a certain other you-know-who on the Tigers, and that will be dissected in-depth for years to come, I assume (cf. the Smoltz/Alexander trade).

Tigers finalizing trade of Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers, per Jeff Passan
Jeff Passan of ESPN announced at 11:31 p.m. ET that the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Detroit Tigers were finalizing a trade for two-time AL Cy Young award winner, Tarik Skubal.

Tigers look to clinch road series at Athletics on Saturday
The Detroit Tigers opened up their West Coast road trip on Friday night with a 13-1 blowout victory over the Athletics in Sacramento. Max Clark shined in his major league debut and the bullpen successfully shut down the opponents. On Saturday night, the Motor City Kitties can clinch the weekend series behind left-hander Framber Valdez, […]
Thayron Liranzo’s late homer powers Erie
Columbus Clippers 9, Toledo Mud Hens 4 (box) Lael Lockhart Jr. and Beau Brieske were both hit hard in this one and the deficit was too much to overcome. Max Anderson walked, stole second for his fourth swipe of the year, and scored on a Corey Julks single in the top of the first. Lockhart […]
Max Clark makes quite a splash in his major-league debut
The opener of a three-game series in Sacramento saw a highly anticipated big-league debut which absolutely did not disappoint, and a low-scoring game was blown wide open in the late innings as the Tigers won 13-1. Casey Mize was supposed to be the starter but was scratched because (a.) he might be traded, (b.) his […]

Tigers kick off West Coast road trip against Athletics this weekend
The Detroit Tigers kick off a nine-game West Coast road swing on Friday night against the Athletics in Sacramento. The good guys got a breather on Thursday night — and will get another one on Monday before moving on to take on the Seattle Mariners — so hopefully the team is well rested after its […]
Hayden Minton, Lucas Elissalt, and Cale Wetwiska post strong starts on Thursday
Columbus Clippers 9, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) The Hens once again had their starter blown up by the Clippers to lose their third straight in this series. Dylan File was torched for five runs in the second and one more in the third before departing the game. The Hens actually pounded out 12 hits […]
2026 MLB Trade Deadline Open Thread
The 2026 MLB trade deadline is set for Monday, Aug. 3, at 6 p.m. ET. For the Detroit Tigers, the deadline has been an item of contention, as the team just cannot seem to position itself for a legitimate run toward the playoffs. After a brutal May that saw the Olde English D win just […]
Max Clark to be promoted for his Detroit Tigers debut, per report
On Thursday morning, Emily Waldon of Baseball America and Just Baseball Media reported that the Detroit Tigers plan to call up top prospect, center fielder Max Clark, in advance of their series with the Athletics in Sacramento starting Friday night. Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic Detroit confirmed that report later. With outfielder Matt Vierling seemingly […]
Max Clark and Josue Briceño go yard, Ben Jacobs strikes out 8 for Whitecaps
Columbus Clippers 9, Toledo Mud Hens 7 (box) Relievers Luke Taggart and Jack Little were lit up for seven runs in the first inning. The Hens’ offense fought back all game long but couldn’t make up the deficit. Columbus loaded the bases against Taggart and he then walked in two runs before Little took over […]
Tigers squander a great Skubal start, blow lead in bummer loss
It took twelve innings to watch the Tigers officially lose this one, but the real downfall really started when Tarik Skubal exited the game in the seventh. The final score was 10-9 for the O’s. The Tigers were feeling mighty fine after their blowout win on Tuesday and hoping to ride that wave into a […]

Tigers go for the home series win against the Orioles on Wednesday
The Detroit Tigers evened up their home series with the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night with an authoritative 14-0 thumping of the visitors. Javy Baez returned to the lineup, and along with Kevin McGonigle, Eduardo Valencia and Gleyber Torres provided a much-needed spark on offense, while Troy Melton threw seven shutout innings to give the […]
Max Anderson and Max Clark post two-hit games in Mud Hens’ loss
Columbus Clippers 6, Toledo Mud Hens 4 (box) Carl Edwards Jr. gave up four runs in the first two innings, and the Hens couldn’t quite fight back enough in this one. Edwards did eventually settle in and strike out eighth, but he continues to be pretty vulnerable to the long ball. Max Clark was clipped […]
Tigers welcome back familiar faces in blowout victory
This was a very different game from Monday as the Tigers beat the Orioles 14-0. After taking their third loss in a row on Monday, the Tigers were really hoping to get out of their run of bad luck. With Troy Melton on the mound, they were looking to improve over their dismal series opener. […]

Jake Rogers DFA’d, Javier Báez reinstated from injured list
Well this is a peculiar first move for trade deadline season. Jake Rogers, the longest tenured Detroit Tigers player, has been designated for assignment. Eduardo Valencia was recalled on Sunday and will be taking over the backup catcher duties. Rogers’ roster spot will go to Javier Báez, who returns from a three-month absence after suffering […]
Tigers seek a series-evening win against the Orioles on Tuesday
The Detroit Tigers opened up the back leg of their current homestand with an 8-5 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night. Keider Montero was far from his usual self, surrendering six runs in four-plus innings, while the offense just did not have enough to dig out of the hole. Taking the mound in […]
Tigers drop O’s series opener with disappointing Montero start
Not an ideal outcome to the series opener against the Orioles as the Tigers lost 8-5. But hey, there was wildlife! After losing their last two games over the weekend to the Royals, the Tigers really needed to win some games. Unfortunately, they were facing off against the Orioles, a sub-.500 team struggling in the […]

How the Tigers can keep Tarik Skubal without ruining their 2027 draft
Should the Detroit Tigers decide to keep Tarik Skubal through the August 3 trade deadline without signing him to a contract extension, they will still face one of the most complicated roster decisions of the Scott Harris era. As discussed previously, should Skubal decline a qualifying offer and sign elsewhere this winter, the Tigers would […]
