The Detroit Tigers have a new shortstop — Javier Baez. But some fans are disappointed — and others are freaking out — because it’s not the right shortstop. Because it’s not the most expensive shortstop. Because it’s not Carlos Correa, the one almost everyone wanted, the one who seemed so perfect and everybody was hoping for.
The Tigers announced Tuesday that they will not tender a contract to left-hander Matthew Boyd, immediately making him a free agent. Boyd, 30, pitched just eight innings after June 14 this season due to a pair of forearm injuries, ultimately leading to flexor tendon surgery in late September. He’d been projected by MLBTR contributor Matt
Detroit — Emotions were mixed, certainly. But true to the character he exhibited through seven seasons here, some of them excruciatingly challenging, Matthew Boyd was positive and upbeat Tuesday night after the Tigers officially announced they would not be tendering him a contract for 2022. “I just wanted so badly to be on a championship
The deadline to tender contracts to arbitration-eligible players has come and gone. The Tigers’ decision to non-tender Matthew Boyd — more on that here — represents the most prominent name cast into free agency tonight, but here’s a quick rundown of the rest of the non-tenders in the American League. Note that MLBTR’s Anthony Franco
Detroit — The Tigers on Tuesday night tendered contracts to eight players who are eligible for salary arbitration. Those players are pitchers Michael Fulmer, Joe Jimenez, Jose Cisnero and Spencer Turnbull, infielders Jeimer Candelario and Harold Castro, outfielder Victor Reyes and catcher Dustin Garneau. The one player who was not tendered, as reported on Sunday night,
The Detroit Tigers are set to sign shortstop Javier Baez to a six-year, $140 million contract. To which I humbly say: Stop. Take a breath. Try not to assume this is the last move the franchise will ever make. Then remember that the team’s designated hitter and occasional first baseman used to be the best hitter in
The Detroit Tigers tendered contracts to eight eligible players for 2022: Jeimer Candelario, Michael Fulmer, Jose Cisnero, Joe Jimenez, Spencer Turnbull, Dustin Garneau, Harold Castro and Victor Reyes. The only non-tendered player: left-handed pitcher Matthew Boyd, who officially became a free agent at Tuesday’s 8 p.m. tender deadline. WINDSOR: Tigers fans need to stop and breathe. Carlos Correa
Detroit — The Tigers weren’t kidding when they said they’d be aggressive this offseason. They also weren’t kidding when Al Avila said he would avoid the “drunken sailor” approach to spending. The sobering reality for some is, the Tigers didn’t land the biggest free-agent shortstop prize. The important reality is, they got much, much better for
The Detroit Tigers came into this offseason with huge question mark at shortstop, and early Tuesday morning they found their answer in the form of Javier Báez. It was just the latest big signing in what has been one of the most frenzied weeks of player movement in recent memory; the impending lockout like an…
The Detroit Tigers needed to answer a question. Would the franchise spend a lot — at least $340 million over at least 10 years — for two-time All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa, or would they pick a lesser commitment — six years, $140 million — for two-time All-Star shortstop Javier Baez? Either would make the team better and give the
Our Matt Shepard and Craig Monroe discuss the addition of shortstop Javier Baez to the Tigers and more.
Javier Baez is the type of player who endears himself to fan bases and ruffles the feathers of rivals. He plays hard, he saves his pitcher runs with his defense, he creates runs his base-running and is always ready to defend his teammates — from the opposition and from fans. Then again, some dislike his penchant for
If you follow the KBO League that exists in South Korea, the league ended last week with the KT Wiz winning the championship over the Doosan Bears, one of the original founding franchises of the KBO when it started in 1982. The Bears featured the league MVP Ariel Miranda, who has had an impressive run…
The Detroit Tigers have signed former Chicago Cubs and New York Mets infielder Javy Baez, who is expected to play shortstop in MoTown. Baez slid all over the infield in Queens, in part because the Mets already had a high-caliber shortstop in $300 million man Francisco Lindor.
Detroit Tigers fans are torn. They’re mostly happy about the offseason so far, don’t get me wrong, but some of them wanted different news than they got Tuesday. If you don’t follow our Evan Petzold, you may have missed the Tigers will sign All-Star shortstop Javier Baez. The deal is for six years and $140 million — fewer years
It was the season of the underdog prospect in the Arizona Fall League, starting with MVP Nelson Velazquez (Cubs) and Pitcher of the Year Owen White (Rangers). They rank 29th and 28th on MLB Pipeline’s organization Top 30 lists. Co-Hitter of the Year Juan Yepez (Cardinals, No. 26) and Breakout Player of the Year Elijah
Yes, I know. You wanted Carlos Correa. He was the home run free agent shortstop in the eyes of many Detroit Tigers fans. But Javier Báez is not a strikeout, even though he’ll do that plenty. The Tigers have agreed to sign Baez to a six-year, $140-million contract, a move that makes sense on several
For seemingly the past year, all anyone has talked about was how the Detroit Tigers needed to find a shortstop. Al Avila has done just that, selecting Javier Baez over other (potentially more popular) options such as Carlos Correa, Trevor Story, and Marcus Semien. The former Cub and Met comes to the American League with
The Detroit Tigers and free agent shortstop Javier Báez agreed on a six-year contract worth $140 million on Tuesday morning, according to multiple reports, and the internet is already going wild.
