First impressions are everything, but that especially rings true in the Arizona Fall League, where some of the Minor Leagues’ best converge for six weeks of prospect v. prospect battles. Rockies outfielder Zac Veen stepped up to the challenge from the jump, earning the Fall League’s first NFP Hitter of the Week Award of the
Yesterday, MLB Trade Rumors released its salary arbitration projections for the 2023 season. The Detroit Tigers have 12 players eligible for arbitration, making for even more tough decision for Scott Harris.
After a pressure packed Wild Card round that produced a few surprises, the divisional series get underway on Tuesday. The Philadelphia Phillies and the San Diego Padres come into this as the biggest underdogs, but the test for Seattle and Cleveland as underdogs won’t be any easier. This is an awful lot of baseball for
The site MLB Trade Rumors is typically pretty good at coming up with arbitration estimates. Performance and service time are the two crucial factors as players enter their fourth, fifth, and ultimately their sixth year of arbitration eligible team control prior to free agency.

On the ultimate day of the 2022 regular season, the Detroit Tigers faced the playoff-bound Seattle Mariners, and the game was tied going into the bottom of the ninth at 4-4. Gregory Soto was summoned from the bullpen in an attempt by manager AJ Hinch to hold the score static and take the game into
Baseball, more than any other major sport, is unpredictable. The season is a marathon and with injuries and regression always remaining a possibility, the crystal ball stays cloudy most of the time. This was especially true for the Detroit Tigers, who brought in some veteran help like Javier Baez, Eduardo Rodriguez, and Tucker Barnhart, but…
The Detroit Tigers need to come clean and finally cut ties with Akil Baddoo. The 2022 season was enough of the experiment, and there is reason to think he should be included in the impending offseason roster purge.
Former major league catcher Dustin Garneau took to Twitter this afternoon to announce his retirement. “Hanging them up. Thank you to everyone who had an impact on my career,” Garneau wrote. “To my wife for always being by my side through the ups and downs. To my agent (Marc Kligman) for always being there and making me a

And so another Detroit Tigers season comes to a close. This wraps up the fourth season we’ve been doing this newsletter and, well, we certainly can’t say there’s been a pattern. 2019, with its mere 47 wins (and the very real shot at the AL loss record), was just a six-month dumpster fire. (Though that
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch can’t stay away from the manager’s chair. For the first time since 1922, MLB players will travel to South Korea for a four-game series against members of the Korea Baseball Organization. The trip takes places from Nov. 9-16, with the four games played Nov. 11-15. On Monday, Hinch was named
With the Detroit Tigers out of the playoffs once again, fans have had to get their baseball fix from the 2022 MLB Postseason. Thankfully, it hasn’t disappointed so far…well, except for game 2 of the Rays/Guardians series (no runs until the 15th inning? Seriously???)

So throughout the offseason we’ll be putting together a rundown of some of the best content we’ve seen on the Tigers’
We expected changes to start coming fast and furious as soon as the Detroit Tigers’ season ended, and new President of Baseball Ops, Scott Harris, isn’t disappointing. Several members of the Tigers coaching staff were let go on Friday, and a bigger domino fell on Saturday as long-time scouting director Scott Pleis was also released.
While the Detroit Tigers season ended, the season was not over for a handful of prospects who were sent out to Arizona to participate in the Arizona Fall League. The Tigers have sent seven prospects out to Arizona, all of them joining the Salt River Rafters’ squad.
The Detroit Tigers believe they can do a better job of syncing philosophies, routines and specific messaging across the organization, spanning from the lowest level of the minor leagues to the major leagues. The bridge isn’t strong enough yet. The next step toward fortification is building a hitting department, something new president of baseball operations
It’s playoff time once again. While some other fanbases are focused on keeping their heart rate down as their team plays in the biggest games of the year, the Detroit Tigers faithful look on, hoping for a better future, and reflecting on the season that just played out.
