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.

MLB News: Detroit Tigers alternate uniforms, Kevin McGonigle, Max Clark, Spring Training, Tony Clark scandal
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, […]

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.

BYB 2026 Tigers prospect reports #31: 3B Nestor Miranda
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 […]
Tigers talk: What would you consider a successful season?
World Series or bust y’all! Ok, this is baseball. It’s a rare team that can actually expect to win a World Series title in a given year. Even the highest projected odds for the mighty Los Angeles Dodgers to win the World Series again this year are only 27.3 percent, and by baseball standards those […]
BYB 2026 Tigers prospect reports #32: OF Roberto Campos
When the Tigers signed the Cuban outfielder Roberto Campos back in 2019, he was the most expensive international free agent the club had ever inked to a deal. Early on he showed the good power potential and solid hitting ability that was projected on signing day, but his progress has been slow since breaking into […]

On Tuesday morning, Evan Drellich, Ken Rosenthal, and Andy McCullough of The Athletic dropped a bit of a bombshell. MLBPA director Tony Clark, who has headed the players’ union since 2013, is expected to resign shortly. The union has been under a federal investigation by the eastern district of New York since last fall in […]
Five Tigers land on FanGraphs top prospect list for 2026
We’re pretty partial to FanGraphs here at Bless You Boys. They combine outstanding writing with all the statistics you could want to understand baseball and baseball players, and their subscription cost is extremly reasonable and has remained low for years now. They also have Eric Longenhagen, probably the most thorough analyst on the national prospect […]

Kenley Jansen and the legend of the cut fastball
Beyond all the talk of splitters, sweepers, seam-shifted changeups, and the like, the best pitch in baseball remains the most elusive. The riding cutter, most famously the pitch that carried Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, remains one of the hardest pitches to pick up for pitchers, and one of the toughest to handle for hitters. With […]
Tigers talk: What are your favorite spring training memories?
Maybe you’re a regular at Detroit Tigers spring training camp. Maybe you’ve made the pilgrimage once, like myself. And maybe your best spring training memory came from a story or from watching Grapefruit League action on television. I went down once, long before the whole Lakeland complex was completely renovated, before I even started writing […]

Justin Verlander meets the media in his introductory press conference
After stepping aside on the first day of spring training so that teammate Framber Valdez could have the stage, it was Justin Verlander’s turn on Thursday. Scott Harris and Jeff Greenberg introduced him to the media on Thursday morning, and we go the first image in almost nine years of Verlander in the classic Detroit […]
Justin Verlander evolved to get back on track in 2025
While the signing of Justin Verlander is certainly exciting and nostalgic all at the same time, let’s talk about how he turned his 2025 season around, and about keeping expectations reasonable.

The whiplash from the surprise of the Justin Verlander signing, to the images of the franchise’s greatest pitcher working out in his old haunts alongside Tarik Skubal, Jack Flaherty, and Framber Valdez on Wednesday, made from some fine visual storytelling.
