The Detroit Tigers’ 2024 amateur draft may someday be known as the great arm talent draft, in contrast to Dave Dombrowski’s failed reliever draft over a decade ago. The Tigers drafted shortstop Bryce Rainer in the first round, then spent the next four picks on pitchers. They doubled back for a few position players with
We’ve now passed through the final week of January (all 674563 days of it), and have arrived in February, the month that baseball returns!

The Tigers selected Madden out of the University of Texas back in 2021 with the 32nd overall pick in the competitive balance A round of the amateur draft.

Friday marked the one-year anniversary of Colt Keith’s long-term contract with the Detroit Tigers. The six-year deal, complete with contract escalators and three option years that could take the deal to nine years and as high as $82,000,000, while guaranteeing $28,642,500, was pretty well received, and promoted by the team as part of a new
