With less than eight weeks until spring training, it’s fair to wonder whether or not the patient
The end of the year is a great time to take a breath and look back at the baseball season that was. Some things happened as expected, but one of the things that’s so great about this game is when the unexpected happens. And that happened in the form of breakout seasons by players everywhere

Well, the Tigers made a little move today, claiming former Milwaukee Brewers catching prospect Mario Feliciano. Beyond that, you can probably expect a very quiet two weeks into the new year. It’s shaping up to a very quiet offseason overall in the first place.Scott Harris will be off for his wedding and honeymoon, and from
The Tigers announced that they have claimed catcher Mario Feliciano off waivers from the Brewers. Outfielder Bligh Madris was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Under Scott Harris’ leadership as president of baseball operations, developing players — young and old, inexperienced and experienced — is at the center of the organization’s mission, now and in the future. Right-hander Michael Lorenzen, whose one-year, $8.5 million contract became official Tuesday afternoon, will be
In honor of the release of our inaugural 2023 Top 100 Draft Prospects list last week, we took the time to look back at all of the players who made up those lists over the years. We began ranking the top amateurs in each class back in 2011, which featured a star-studded group headlined by
By the end of the season, the Detroit Tigers’ pitching rotation looked a lot different than the group that started the season. Injuries decimated the pitching staff, and while they were relying on several of their young prospects at the beginning, they were just trying to get through the end of the year intact. Tarik

The Detroit Tigers, planning to prioritize opportunities for young players in the major leagues, added to their pool of prospects at the upper-levels of the organization in an under-the-radar way at the winter meetings.

DETROIT — The Tigers’ 2023 home schedule — for which single-game tickets went on sale Friday — includes a three-game series in mid-April against the Giants, whose RBI leader last season was infielder Wilmer Flores.
