On Friday, a split squad from the Tigers headed to Clearwater to tackle the Phillies on the road and ultimately took them down by a score of 6-3. Action now turns to George Steinbrenner Stadium in Tampa

Step one for Brendan White was getting added to the Tigers 40-man roster this past offseason. Now, the pitching prospect is doing everything he can to get closer to Detroit.
CLEARWATER, Fla. — Eduardo Rodriguez looked for a second like he might be having issues with his belt as the Tigers left-hander felt around his left hip before his first pitch against the Phillies Friday afternoon. Once it became clear he was the latest Tigers pitcher to experiment with the new PitchCom system that lets

LAKELAND, Fla. — Tigers manager A.J. Hinch is looking at multi-inning relievers who can bridge the gap between Detroit’s projected starters — none of whom pitched a full season last year — and a rebuilt back end of the bullpen filled with high-strikeout young arms. So when Brendan White came in from the bullpen to
Last week, we covered the best pure-hitting prospect in each system, noting that it’s almost impossible to be a Major League regular if you can’t hit. Do you know what’s another way to put yourself over the top? Hit the ball hard. Power can make a .250 hitter into a star or, in some cases,
After his first season in the Big Leagues, center fielder Riley Greene is back at camp with his teammates. So we had him mic’d up during practice this spring and can confirm he wasn’t a fan of it. But he delivered plenty of laughs in conversations with Spencer Torkelson, Parker Meadows, Matt Vierling and more.
The Tigers have enjoyed the buzz of several top prospects climbing national lists in recent years. Detroit had two of MLB Pipeline’s top five prospects in baseball in last year’s preseason rankings in Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson, and Greene was briefly No. 1 before he made his Major League debut last June. Torkelson was
I got a haircut. Supercuts, $24 for a haircut.I took me a couple of days to work up the nerve to pay that much for a haircut. just like I said. Greedy baseball players are ruining our economy….everyone sees stupid money and wants to be rich quick. It’s a shame. And what.makes.it. worse…is.they are all
DUNEDIN, Fla. — No Major League center fielder made more diving catches last season than Riley Greene. As George Springer’s fly ball floated into shallow left field Tuesday, Greene — who started in left during the Tigers’ 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays — thought he had a chance at his first of 2023. His

Did you know that Toledo had three baseball teams that were part of the Negro National League? The first team was the 1923 Toledo Tigers. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of this team, we’re hosting a special Toledo Tigers Night on Saturday, September 16. This celebration is also part of MiLB’s Black community-focused outreach platform
After the 2022 season the Detroit Tigers, frustrated with the up-and-down play of Jeimer Candelario, cut him loose; he caught on with the Washington Nationals, and I wish him success in all his future endeavours. However, that left a hole at third base for the 2023 season, as hot hot-corner prospect Colt Keith isn’t quite
TAMPA, Fla. — A series of career-altering injuries have limited Trey Wingenter to fewer than 10 innings over the past three seasons — and none above Rookie level. But when asked what the Tigers hope to see from the right-hander this spring, the first word from manager A.J. Hinch had nothing to do with Wingenter’s
