The Detroit Tigers 2026 draft bonus pool is announced
After three pretty successful drafts, the Detroit Tigers enter the 2026 edition of the amateur draft picking way down the board for the second straight year. It’s too early to go crazy over their last three first round picks, but so far Bryce Rainer, Jordan Yost, and Michael Oliveto look like one heck of a […]
Mud Hens bludgeon Jonah Tong and the Mets, Whitecaps win season opener
Toledo Mud Hens 17, Syracuse Mets 7 (box) The Mud Hens crushed the 46th ranked prospect in the game, right-hander Jonah Tong, with a furious barrage on Thursday that knocked Tong out of the game in the second inning. They poured it on against the Mets bullpen, taking a 2-1 lead in the series. Max […]
Game 7 Preview: Tigers host Cardinals for 2026 home opener
The Detroit Tigers open their 2026 home schedule on Friday afternoon against the St. Louis Cardinals after starting the season with just two wins in their first six games. That pair of victories came in the opening series against the San Diego Padres — the first two games of the campaign, to be exact — […]
Konnor Griffin’s reported deal sets parameters of a Kevin McGonigle extension
On Thursday, the Pittsburgh Pirates announced they were calling up baseball’s consensus top prospect, shortstop and sometime center fielder, Konnor Griffin. The 19-year-old wasn’t promoted for Opening Day due to a combination of factors that had more to do with team control and leverage toward a contract, but his high strikeout rate in spring training […]
Tigers’ strengths and weaknesses were on display in opening road trip
For many years, fans of Midwest and northeast teams wondered why MLB didn’t schedule most early series in warmer weather. Now, for two seasons they’ve made it happen. Just like the 2025 season, when they opened against the Dodgers and the Mariners on the road, the Tigers opening road trip has ended with a 2-4 […]
Bless You Boys Book Club: Unhittable by Rob Friedman
There’s something a lot of the BYB writing crew have in common, something we think we share with a fair number of our regular site visitors: we love to read. Several of us even have real life jobs that are related to books in some capacity. So we thought it seemed like an ideal opportunity […]
Clark doubles twice, bullpen crumbles late in Hens’ loss
Mets 4, Mud Hens 2 (box) So far, the Tigers’ Triple-A affiliate has mirrored the big league club to a degree. Wenceel Pérez has the sole home run through five games. Of course that’s a lot more understandable when you’re playing in upstate New York this time of year. On the pitching side, the bullpen […]
Tigers 0, Diamondbacks 1: Tarik Skubal’s solid start squandered by silent bats
West Coast game times, we won’t miss you! The initial two series of the Tigers season have been rough for anyone with a strict bedtime, and the results have been more mixed than fans would have liked, but the Tigers took to the field on Wednesday hoping to keep the Diamondbacks from completing the series […]

Game 6 Preview: Tigers try to avoid sweep at Diamondbacks
After opening the 2026 campaign with a three-game sweep of the San Diego Padres, the Detroit Tigers are in danger of getting swept in their second series of the season against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix. The first two games have resulted in a 9-6 loss on Monday night and a 7-5 loss on Tuesday […]
Colt Keith is swinging harder than ever early this year
My love for Colt Keith knows no bounds. There’s no style of prospect I love more than a middle infielder with plus hit and power tools, which Keith was as he tore his way through the minor leagues. You know I love this guy: in the last month, I’ve written an article about how he […]
Toledo takes down Syracuse in series opener
Hens 5, Mets 1 (F/7) The Mud Hens came out on top in the first of six against the Syracuse Mets on Tuesday afternoon. The Hens pounced on the Mets in the top of the first and cruised to victory as the game was called in the seventh due to rain. Veteran Cubs’ closer Carl […]
Diamondbacks 7, Tigers 5: That escalated quickly
A night after a not-quite-comeback in Arizona on Monday, the Tigers were the ones with the comfortable lead for most of the game on Tuesday before it all went belly-up late in the game, ending up with a 7-5 loss. Making his season debut for the Tigers was Casey Mize, who had a generally solid […]

AJ Hinch moves Colt Keith and Kevin McGonigle up in the order
Kerry Carpenter has been in a pretty rough place this spring. After a fairly good, but again injury plagued 2025 season, the Tigers’ right fielder and designated hitter came into camp looking to put together a more consistent 2026 and hopefully finally banish the back and hamstring injuries that have nagged at him for much […]
Game 5 Preview: Tigers look to bounce back against Diamondbacks
The Detroit Tigers floundered in the opening game of their road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night, as Justin Verlander was anything but in vintage form in the team’s 9-6 loss. They will get another shot on Tuesday night in the desert behind their former No. 1 draft pick, Casey Mize, who opens […]
Diamondbacks 9, Tigers 6: Snakes spoil Verlander’s Tigers return
Things finally came full circle after eight years and seven months away from home. Justin Verlander returned to the mound in regular season action as a Detroit Tiger on Monday night in Arizona. Were you nervous? I’ve rarely had the mix of excitement and nerves I felt going into this one except in September and […]

Game 4 Preview: Verlander to make 2026 debut for Tigers at Diamondbacks
The Detroit Tigers won their first series of the season against the San Diego Padres and now move on to the next leg of the 2026 campaign-opening road trip at the Arizona Diamondbacks this week, starting on Monday night. So far, in an obviously limited sample size, AJ Hinch’s team is in the lower half […]
Mud Hens rally then implode as the IronPigs sweep
(F/10) Lehigh Valley IronPigs 8, Toledo Mud Hens 7 (box) The Toledo Mud Hens had plenty of chances to end their three-game opening series against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs with a win, but some late mistakes from the bullpen led to an 8-7 walk-off loss. Max Clark notched his first hits of the season and […]
Connor Seabold illustrates why the Tigers signed him
All throughout spring training, a tough question in Detroit Tigers camp was who would take the last spot in their bullpen. Their seven best relief options were pretty obvious, other than the question of whether Keider Montero would stay stretched out to start or not, but no one stepped to take the last right-handed spot […]
Mud Hens shut out in Game 2 vs Lehigh Valley
Lehigh Valley IronPigs 1, Toledo Mud Hens 0 (box) The Toledo Mud Hens never got going in a Saturday night 1-0 loss to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. A pair of rehabbing major leaguers set the tone on the mound for the IronPigs, and the Mud Hens couldn’t capitalize, failing to push across the equalizer. Mud […]
Introduce yourself to the BYB community!
This is a yearly tradition here at Bless You Boys. We’re all going to be hanging out in game and article threads all year long, so let’s take advantage of the first off day for a little meet and greet. Bless You Boys is roughly 20 years old. We don’t actually know the early origin […]
Padres 3, Tigers 0: Sweepless in San Diego
The Detroit Tigers took the field on a lovely night in San Diego, looking to complete a road sweep of the Padres to open the season. It didn’t work out that way, though they continued to keep the Padres offense in check. The Tigers hitters were a little too jumpy against Padres’ pitching, with only […]
