The worst nightmare of all Detroit Tigers baseball fans and all fans alike has now become a reality, as it has been announced that Opening Day has been delayed until further notice due to the inability of the MLB and MLBPA to reach a deal on a new collective bargaining agreement.
Tuesday’s deadline for a new collective bargaining agreement passed without a deal between Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association, as the players voted to reject the league’s final proposal before 5 p.m. ET. With no deal in place, MLB announced that each team’s first two series of the regular season will not be
After major league baseball players and owners bargained late into the night on the date of MLB’s self imposed deadline, February 28, reports to the media from the owners suggested that a deal might be close. Sounds coming from the players’ quarters were not so optimistic, as the two sides remained far apart on a
The wait to see the Detroit Tigers continues on as MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced this afternoon that the first two series have been canceled. The press conference began at 5pm and right off the bat, the presser had a strange vibe to it.

LAKELAND, Fla. — Roberto Campos walked towards the dugout with some satisfaction, only to be called back. The Tigers’ teenage slugging outfield prospect had just laced an opposite-field line drive to right field off right-hander Austin Bergner, six years his senior, and thought his at-bat was over. But with one pitch left in Bergner’s live

LAKELAND, Fla. — It became a Battle Royale. Two Detroit Tigers prospects: Keider Montero vs. Izaac Pacheco. A young pitcher against an even younger hitter. Neither one giving in. Each one fighting. And it turned into an entertaining, revealing drama that seemed to go on for several minutes. Montero, 21, was on the mound at the backfields
Everybody thought the Detroit Tigers got their shortstop when they came to an eleventh-hour agreement with free-agent Javier Baez. Heck, the Detroit Tigers themselves likely thought the same thing.

For the first time since 2017, the Detroit Tigers are picking outside of the top ten in the MLB Draft. We first took a stab at projecting the top of this class way back in July, shortly after the 2021 draft concluded, and last week we checked in on how the college class was looking…
Lakeland, Fla. — You should have seen Eric De La Rosa tearing up the west coast JUCO circuit in 2018. The kid was unbelievable. Long, lanky, hitting right-handed in the three-hole for Grossmont College, a ridiculously high leg kick, just turning and burning on any pitch in the strike zone. And doing damage.
