LAKELAND, Fla. — About 365 days have passed in Spencer Torkelson‘s official climb toward the major leagues. Since his first swings in a spring training game last season, Torkelson is a different baseball player. He has a full professional season under his belt. He climbed from High-A West Michigan to Triple-A Toledo, crushing 30 home runs
It’s a question worth asking. Is this the best the Tigers system is going to look for years to come? If the answer is yes, then that might mean exciting times ahead in Motor City. Detroit boasts two of MLB Pipeline’s Top 5 overall prospects in first baseman Spencer Torkelson and outfielder Riley Greene, who
Andrew Chafin just inked a new deal with the Tigers, and he came out firing in his Spring Training debut in Lakeland. As Detroit fans will soon learn, the lefty reliever’s slider and sense of humor both have some bite.
According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Major League Baseball and the MLBPA have come to terms to expand the rosters from 26 to 28 through May 1st. The Detroit Tigers will have the ability to carry two additional players for their Opening Day roster.
LAKELAND, Fla. — Yes, it’s only Spring Training. But the skip in Ryan Kreidler’s step as he rounded first base Wednesday afternoon after a go-ahead grand slam in the seventh inning is big in just about any league, even one named after fruit. “Hopefully I can do it outside of Spring Training,” Kreidler said after
Lakeland, Fla. — Whatever you do, don’t tell Alex Lange he looks skinny. “You think I look skinny!?” he said Wednesday morning, eyes wide. This was hours prior to him throwing a clean, 15-pitch inning in the Tigers’ 6-6 spring tie with the Pirates “Skinny is not a good thing,” he said. “Athletic, that’s a good thing.”
LAKELAND, Fla. — The Detroit Tigers tied the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-6, on Wednesday at Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium, remaining at 1-3 (with two ties) in Grapefruit League play in spring training. What happened The Tigers and Pirates traded runs in the first inning, but left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez was smooth throughout his four-inning performance. He recorded five strikeouts without a walk.
LAKELAND, Fla. — From Eduardo Rodriguez making his second Spring Training start to Javier Báez making his first appearance at Joker Marchant Stadium, the signs of the Tigers’ offseason investment were all over the field Wednesday. So, too, was the owner who authorized it. “Tiger fans have been incredibly patient,” team chairman and CEO Christopher
Craig Monroe checks in from a spring training very different than when he played outfield for the Tigers. #DetroitRoots #MarygroveAwnings
Lakeland, Fla. — Minus Jonathan Schoop, who had the day off Wednesday, the Tigers lineup against the Pirates had a decidedly Opening Day look to it. Against a right-handed starter, Akil Baddoo, Robbie Grossman and Javier Báez were at the top, Jeimer Candelario, Miguel Cabrera and Riley Greene were in the middle, with Spencer Torkelson and

Lakeland, Fla. — Christopher Ilitch, the Tigers chairman and CEO, came loaded for bear this morning.

Lakeland, Fla. – The Tigers late Tuesday night announced they had agreed to terms with seven of the eight players eligible for a salary arbitration hearing. That leaves one player headed to arbitration: right-hander Spencer Turnbull. Turnbull, who is likely to miss the bulk of the season recovering from Tommy John surgery, filed for $2.1 million.
LAKELAND, Fla. — For the first time since 2019, the Detroit Tigers are taking their negotiations to a salary arbitration hearing. The Tigers and right-handed starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull did not agree on a contract for the 2022 season by Tuesday’s 1 p.m. deadline for arbitration-eligible players and are preparing for an arbitration hearing, according to
There they were, preparing to pick deeper in the 2022 MLB Draft than at any point in the past five years, but not at all bothered with the 12th overall turn when 2022 stood to be vintage. And then the Tigers ran into a bunch of prized college pitchers who crashed head-on into Tommy John
There are so many factors that can derail a pitcher’s season. Injuries, sloppy defense, bad luck on balls in play, trouble stranding runners, losing feel for a particular pitch — all of these and more can make it tough for even the most talented arms to get the results they are capable of producing. But
Clearwater, Fla. — Did Tyler Alexander love it that the Tigers went out and signed veteran right-hander Michael Pineda, a move that will eventually will knock him out of the rotation and back to the bullpen? Not especially. But, was he going to pout and sulk about it? Was it going to affect him in any way?
