With pitchers and catchers due to report in just over two weeks, the Detroit Tigers released their non-roster invite list for spring training on Monday. The list is largely comprised of the many minor league signings President Scott Harris has added to the fold this offseason. However, there are a few of the clubs top

A year after the entire offseason was spoiled by the business side of the game, a host of teams are once again facing major issues that have nothing to do with the product on the field. Diamond Sports Group LLC, operator of the Bally Sports regional networks, including in Detroit, has announced that they’re heading

The top of the Detroit Tigers roster isn’t impressing anyone, but Scott Harris is definitely building in a solid floor with all the minor league depth he’s built into the roster this offseason. On Wednesday, Jon Heyman of the NY Post reported that the Tigers have signed veteran infielder César Hernández to a minor league

The 2022-2023 offseason isn’t over yet, but at this point it’s hard to believe the Detroit Tigers will make any more notable moves. There are still players available who could help this team, and it may be that new President Scott Harris simply doesn’t want to make any promises after a lukewarm response to his

The lack of international free agent talent developed by the Detroit Tigers over the last decade or more remains one of the least talked about of their major organizational flaws. Sunday, the club will announce their new class of teenaged prospects on International Signing Day, but new President of Baseball Operations Scott Harris and his

As we learn growing up, sometimes things that are good for you don’t necessarily thrill in the moment. Last Saturday’s trade of Gregory Soto to the Philadelphia Phillies may feel like the equivalent of the Detroit Tigers making sure to eat their broccoli. We may have hoped for a shiny new prospect in return for

Every since the park opened in 2000, Comerica Park’s outfield dimensions have been a controversial subject. While the initial intent was to keep some of the spirit of Tiger Stadium alive, the distances to left field and right field were initially far more spacious than Tiger Stadium. They were moved in to pinch the corners

In the wake of Saturday’s trade of Gregory Soto, Scott Harris was asked how he would address a bullpen suddenly lacking in left-handed pitching depth. With the departures of Andrew Chafin and Soto, swingman Tyler Alexander suddenly represents the only major league proven left-handed option. A formerly strong bullpen has now lost four of its

The Detroit Tigers have made another trade. Saturday afternoon, Jon Morosi of FOX Sports reported that the Tigers and Dave Dombrowski’s Philadelphia Phillies have agreed on a deal that sends left-handed reliever Gregory Soto to Philly along with utilityman Kody Clemens for a package of three position players. The finalization of the deal is pending

The Detroit Tigers appear to have finished sorting out their managerial staff for the club’s minor league affiliates. Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reported on Thursday that they’ve hired long-time MLB hitting coach, Anthony Iapoce to replace Lloyd McClendon and helm the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens for the 2023 season. The move has

The 2022 Detroit Tigers offense was terrible, but you know that already. They were at the bottom of the league in most offensive categories and even historically bad in a few key stats. A club that was looking to build off their relative success in 2021 and position themselves for future contention finished nearly 20

One of the first things we learned about Scott Harris, was to expect ravenous sampling from the waiver wire and minor league free agent pool. So far, that characteristic has been the most obvious expression of the new Detroit Tigers front office’s approach to roster building through a quiet first offseason to date. Just in

MLB decided to mark the end of the year with a quick rundown of some of the best moments of 2022, and it certainly has us excited to see what’s coming next. We’re sure to see more great writing in the weeks to come, but the lull week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve is

This is the time of year when every writer crawls out of the woodwork to offer up year-end summaries of how their team’s season went. 2022 was an interesting year for the continually rebuilding Tigers franchise (read as, incredibly disappointing and tiring), as well as an interesting (read as, surprisingly decent) year in cinema. Having

They say that one man’s trash is another’s treasure, and Detroit Tigers president Scott Harris seems to be taking that phrase to heart. On Friday, the Tigers claimed left-handed pitcher Zach Logue off waivers just a day after the Oakland Athletics designated him for assignment. Let’s be clear, I’m not calling Logue trash, but rather

Well, the Tigers made a little move today, claiming former Milwaukee Brewers catching prospect Mario Feliciano. Beyond that, you can probably expect a very quiet two weeks into the new year. It’s shaping up to a very quiet offseason overall in the first place.Scott Harris will be off for his wedding and honeymoon, and from

The Detroit Tigers bulked up their starting rotation once again on Wednesday evening. Reports emerged that President of Baseball Operations Scott Harris is signing long-time Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen to a one-year deal worth $8.5 million, with another $1.5 million available in incentives. The deal is not yet official, and is pending a

For most of the last decade, the Detroit Tigers farm system slumped far behind most of the league in terms of scouting and player development. A lack of high picks and minimal spending on coaches and training personnel, analysts, and facilities, left the organization running a fairly barebones affair during the later years of Dave

The Detroit Tigers first major transaction of the offseason was trading Joe Jiménez to the Atlanta Braves for Justyn-Henry Malloy and Jake Higginbotham. This adds another couple of prospects as the new front office begins retooling the organization to their philosophies of success. Jiménez finally put it all together in 2022, grading out as one

After a year off due to the lockout the Rule 5 Draft returned in full force on Wednesday evening. Last offseason saw only the Triple-A phase of the event, this year the MLB phase returned. The Detroit Tigers selected two players, and lost two players. In the MLB phase of the draft the Tigers selected
