Three starting pitchers Detroit could prioritize this winter
According to Detroit Tigers’ GM Jeff Greenberg, the team is “going to prioritize pitching” this winter. There’s a lot of logic there; outside of Tarik Skubal, the starting rotation has some question marks and the bullpen needs both quantity and quality. Kyle Finnegan leads their free agent departures, while Chris Paddack, Tommy Kahnle, and Rafael […]
Are the Los Angeles Dodgers saving or ruining baseball?
The 2025 World Series proved to be an all-timer, as a hard fought and outstanding series came down to one of the greatest Game 7’s in the sports long history. In the end, the Toronto Blue Jays squandered a few too many chances to score, while the Los Angeles Dodgers roared back with timely solo […]
Kevin McGonigle named 2025 Arizona Fall League MVP
The Detroit Tigers rule the Arizona Fall League at least. For the second straight year, a Tigers prospect has captured the award for the Fall League’s best player. Infielder Kevin McGonigle was named the Joe Black MVP award winner as best player in the AFL on Friday, following in the footsteps of Josue Briceño’s MVP […]
MLB News: Tarik Skubal Cy Young, MVP Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Scott Boras, Emmanuel Clase
The biggest awards have now been handed out in baseball, and one of them just increased Tarik Skubal’s free agency value. On Wednesday, the Cy Young Awards were announced, and Tarik Skubal (of course) won for the second year in a row, while Paul Skenes of the Pirates won for the NL. Then on Thursday […]
Gambling scandals could press MLB’s need for robot umpires
Until the minor leagues began testing the automated ball-strike calling system a few years ago, I wasn’t that big on the idea. Growing up without the strike zone overlay on televised broadcasts, the strike zone had always been a negotiable airspace that could be manipulated by good pitchers and catchers using the same art of […]
Tigers DFA Alex Lange, claim RHP Dugan Darnell off of waivers
While we wait for the offseason proper to really get going, and for Gleyber Torres to decide whether he’ll accept or refuse the Detroit Tigers qualifying offer, the club made a small move on Wednesday. Former closer and noted turtleneck enthusiast, Alex Lange, was designated for assignment. His spot on the 40-man roster was then […]
Tarik Skubal claims his second consecutive AL Cy Young award
There was a bit tougher competition this time around, and yet the outcome of the 2025 AL Cy Young award voting by the BBWAA never seemed in doubt. On Wednesday, that assessment was confirmed as Skubal became the 23rd major league pitcher to win multiple Cy Young awards, and only the 12th pitcher in major […]
Solving Detroit’s center field issue in free agency
In 2025, center field was a major weakness for the Detroit Tigers. That wasn’t supposed to be the case; Parker Meadows finally had his breakout in 2024, Matt Vierling looked like a solid complementary piece who could bounce to multiple positions, and even Wenceel Perez had a solid enough season to pencil him in as […]
MLB News: Detroit Tigers Tarik Skubal, Rookie of the Year, Manager of the Year, Guardians betting scandal
We’re not even halfway through November, and if you think speculation about Tarik Skubal is going to die down any time soon, you are in for a long offseason. But tempered with the Skubal hot stove is more immediate news, like the winners of the Rookie of the Year accolades, as well as the AL […]
The Tigers offense slumped when it counted most
Heading into the All-Star Break, Detroit was in pole position in the American League Central, and in fact, all of baseball. The team had an MLB-best 59-38 record and backed it up with a top-10 offense, a top-10 pitching staff, and best-in-the-business baserunning. Riley Greene, Zack McKinstry, and Javy Baez stormed out of the gates […]
McGonigle stays hot, AL takes Arizona Fall League All-Star game
The Arizona Fall League kicked off the final week of the 2025 season with their All-Star game, the Fall Stars Game, and the American League was victorious by a 5-4 score on Sunday. The Tigers prospects were involved, but neither Kevin McGonigle nor Max Anderson did a whole lot. A pop-up and a strike out […]
MLB News: Tarik Skubal, Japanese Posting System, Cleveland Guardians betting scandal
There’s been plenty of stuff happening around baseball over the weekend. We’ve got some emerging buzz about KBO and Japanese players who could be the next big thing in MLB; there’s a massive betting scandal breaking with the Cleveland Guardians (though it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise if you were keeping up with […]
2026 Detroit Tigers offseason hub
Because news and articles pour out so quickly when moves start getting made, it can be hard to keep up. So, let this post be your one stop shop to catch up and look back at the Tigers roster moves, contracts, payroll, farm system, coaching staff, and front office news. As the offseason progresses, we’ll […]
Riley Greene and Zach McKinstry collect Silver Slugger awards
The big prize in terms of individual awards is obviously Tarik Skubal’s high likelihood of a repeat AL Cy Young award, but the Tigers have been collecting some hardware otherwise as well. Dillon Dingler took home his first Gold Glove award, and on Friday evening, star outfielder Riley Greene captured his first Silver Slugger award […]
MLB News: Detroit Tigers coaching staff, Tarik Skubal, Jack Flaherty, free agency
Happy Friday, everyone, and now that the free agency market is open following the end of the qualifying offer window, things are about to get very exciting around baseball over the coming months. It should be interesting to see what teams make an effort to compete next year (will the Dodgers try to make a […]
Tigers extend qualifying offer to Gleyber Torres, decline options on Urquidy and Sewald
The Detroit Tigers option and qualifying offer decisions were due on Thursday, and there were a few interesting notes along the way. The most consequential was, as Jeff Passan of ESPN reports, the extension of a qualifying offer worth $22 million in 2026 to second baseman Gleyber Torres. The former Yankees infielder didn’t get a […]
MLB News: Alex Bregman, Tarik Skubal, World Series, Shohei Ohtani, Yu Darvish
A World Series parade, a former Cy Young winner out for the season, and a whole new offseason of Alex Bregman speculation. This is what the Ber months are all about, with the hot stove warming (free agency opens up on Thursday!), and awards season rolling on over the next two weeks. In today’s news […]
Tigers hire Brad Ciolek from the Nationals to head international operations
The front office and coaching overhaul continues as Scott Harris and his front office reshape both groups this offseason. Evan Petzold of the Free Press reported on Tuesday that back in September, the Detroit Tigers moved their director of international operations, Tom Moore, into a new senior advisor to the department position. In his place […]
Jack Flaherty exercises his player option with the Tigers for 2026
Not a big surprise here. Right-hander Jack Flaherty has exercised his player option with the Tigers and will return for $20 million in 2026. The Tigers initially signed him to a two-year, $35 million deal last offseason, with the second year being a player option with an incentive attached if Flaherty spent most of the […]
Arizona Fall League Week 4
INF Kevin McGonigle Weekly performance: 3 G, 4-9 (.444), 2 R, 3 RBI, 2 BB, 3 K Kevin McGonigle got the first couple of days off this week, but he was back at third base on Thursday. The man they call the Professor went 2-for-5 with his fifth double of the fall. A rare two-strikeout […]
Jack Flaherty, Gleyber Torres headline Tigers qualifying offer and option decisions for 2026
Five days after the World Series, teams and players who have contract options must make their decisions known. Five days after the World Series concludes, teams must also decide whether to make qualifying offers to their players who are eligible for free agency. The Detroit Tigers have two pending free agents who are worthy of […]
Tigers 2026 payroll leaves room to add
The Detroit Tigers entered the 2025 season with an opening day payroll of $145,318,033 (17), according to Cot’s Contracts. By season’s end, that number was up to $161.4 million, which ranked 16th in the major leagues out of 30 teams. Those numbers were up significantly from opening day, 2024, when the club had an Opening Day total […]
MLB News: Dillon Dingler Gold Glove, World Series, Yoshinobu Yamamoto
While the biggest news of the weekend is no doubt the conclusion of the World Series, with the Los Angeles Dodgers winning their second championship in as many years in an 11-inning nail-biter, there was a more exciting bit of news on the Tigers’ front. Tigers’ catcher Dillon Dingler, who had an incredible breakout season […]
Dillon Dinger wins AL Gold Glove award
This hasn’t happened in quite a while. Not since Ian Kinsler took home the 2016 AL Gold Glove award at the second base position has a Detroit Tigers player claimed the award. On Sunday, Dillon Dingler ended that unfortunate streak, winning his first Gold Glove award as the best defensive catcher in the American League. […]
Tigers re-sign RHP Troy Watson to a minor league deal
With the World Series set to conclude on Saturday night, the offseason is almost here. Before anything too significant happens, the Detroit Tigers are working their way through some minor league housekeeping. On Friday, news emerged that they re-signed RHP Troy Watson to a minor league deal for 2026 with an invitation to spring camp. […]
