FORT MYERS, Fla. — One saying goes that the right shoes can make everything different; another asks you to walk a mile in someone else’s. If the shoe fits? Two left feet? Best foot forward?

It’s been a dream come true for Tigers prospect Parker Meadows, who joins his brother Austin for his first MLB spring training. The veteran Austin has been happy to show him the ropes, but it was Parker who provided the most memorable moment with a home run in their first game together.

Spring training is a dangerous time for predictions. So little of what we see in spring action carries over into the regular season that it’s far too early to get excited. Process matters more than results, so it’s wise to focus more on cut and dried changes players have made, as opposed to worrying over
Every spring, there are prospects who shine so brightly that they either force their way onto their organization’s Major League roster or at least accelerate their progress toward reaching the big leagues. Think back to a year ago, when Julio Rodríguez dazzled his way onto the Mariners’ Opening Day roster en route to winning the
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Jake Rogers had barely completed his trot around the bases and was in the Tigers dugout after his latest home run, a 415-foot drive off the batter’s eye in center field at Hammond Stadium in Sunday’s 6-2 loss to the Twins. He quickly grabbed his catching gear and began suiting up

Another day, another player preview about a pitcher the Detroit Tigers scouted from relative obscurity who now has a legit shot at a major league career. Right-hander Brendan White is a dedicated reliever now, but as a 26th rounder in 2019, he certainly fits with the Wilmer Flores, Beau Brieske, Garrett Hill group as a
The Tigers have added veteran reliever Trevor Rosenthal on a minor league deal, the team announced. The deal includes an invite to big league spring training. It’s the second stint in Detroit for Rosenthal, who made ten appearances for the team in 2019. Injuries have kept Rosenthal out of the past two MLB seasons, with
As we’ve learned about Detroit Tigers’ president Scott Harris, he’s not going to stop churning the roster in search of help. Even since spring camp opened he’s signed another handful of relievers on minor league deals, and he added another on Saturday night, inking veteran right-hander Trevor Rosenthal to a minor league deal with an
LAKELAND, Fla. — Spencer Turnbull was walking off the mound at the end of his second and final inning on Saturday, grumbling about the run he allowed, when pitching coach Chris Fetter intercepted him in the dugout. “If you have anything other than the best feelings about today, I’m going to be really mad at
With gorgeous facilities and a location ideal for Tigers fans in the southwestern portion of the state, the West Michigan Whitecaps have cemented themselves as the fan-facing favorite minor league team in Detroit’s system. During the upcoming season, fans can expect more than the usual fun and games atmosphere the ‘Caps staff works hard to
We’ve discussed Beau Brieske in his preview already, but right-hander Garrett Hill is perhaps an even more surprising underdog who could help the Tigers this season. The 27-year-old was drafted by the Tigers back in 2018 all the way down in the 27th round. He was never expected to have much of a pro career,
