A detailed list of nope about the Detroit Tigers
We generally cut our prospect rankings off when a player turns 26 but as right-hander Ty Madden has just a small amount of major league experience and missed his age 25 season with a strained rotation cuff that took longer than hoped to rehabilitate, we’ll make an exception. Long an interesting starting pitcher prospect with […]
In our group of 40+ FV prospects, there are a quite a few young pitchers that we’re just in a holding pattern with. Like out 23rd ranked prospect, right-hander Michael Massey, it’s a talented group of young arms, but just about all of them have been sidelined with injury since joining the pro ranks. That’s […]

Spring training is in full swing as the Detroit Tigers prepare for their 2026 campaign, locked and reloaded for another run to the playoffs, and hopefully, a World Series ring. Sure, the team is just 2-6 so far, but these games do not matter… yet. A great deal of the optimism heading into the season […]
One of the most fun things about covering the minor leagues and prospects is when a previously unheralded player suddenly puts it together and goes nuts. Eduardo Valencia wasn’t even a mention on most prospect rankings the past few years as injuries, struggles at the plate, and slow defensive development left him looking like an […]
A year ago, young right-hander Rayner Castillo was one of the fastest rising players in the system. In 2025, he spun his wheels at the High-A level, suffering from some uncharacteristic wildness and more erratic velocity. He continued to rack up ground balls, but the contact got louder and the whiffs dried up a bit. […]

Outfielder Brett Callahan hasn’t gotten much national notice, and isn’t yet tracking like a future major leaguer. However, his potential makes him quite interesting, and he’s already making noise in spring camp. If there’s a hitter in the Tigers’ system who could follow Kerry Carpenter’s path as an unheralded left-handed college outfielder who ends up […]
There’s a wide gap between the Detroit Tigers top two outfield prospects and the rest of the farm system’s outfielders. Max Clark is a top 10 prospect in the game on most rankings and closing in on the major leagues. Teenager Cris Rodriguez is second ranked in the outfield, but is still anticipating his first […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
Happy March, everyone! It might seem like Spring Training just got underway, but we’re also already in the same month where MLB games will return to our lives after the long drought of winter. Plus, we’re officially in World Baseball Classic week, as the games will get going this Thursday. We look forward to seeing […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
