Late on Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN reported that the Los Angeles Angels and Chicago White Sox had agreed on a trade for right-hander Lucas Giolito. Earlier in the day, the Angels had made it clear that they were no longer considering trading Shohei Ohtani after a 7-3 stretch pulled them within four games of

St. Paul Saints 9, Toledo Mud Hens 7 (box) Another night, another high scoring game, and another Saints victory. Jack O’Loughlin got the start and dominated the Saints for five innings while his offense built a lead. The very first batter of the game was one Parker Meadows, and he got things going immediately with

According to a report by Chris McCosky of the Detroit News, Tigers relief pitchers Jose Cisnero and Chasen Shreve have been drawing interest from rival teams as the MLB Trade Deadline approaches.

St. Paul Saints 14, Toledo Mud Hens 7 (box) The first of six in St. Paul started with a pretty wild one. The Hens seized control of the game only for the bullpen to come unraveled, turning this into a rout for the Saints. Starter Bryan Sammons gave up a solo shot in the second,

The opener of a three-game mid-week series in Detroit against the Los Angeles Anaheim California Orange County Angels, less than a week before the trade deadline, featured a shaky start from a prized possession, a dramatic ninth-inning comeback, and an extra-inning loss by the Tigers, 7-6 in 10 innings.

We all wanted to believe. After getting staggered by a nine-game losing streak to open the month of June, the Detroit Tigers did an admirable job stabilizing the situation considering the personnel on the injured list. Well into July they were in good enough position that a winning streak could have changed the equation at

It was reported on Monday afternoon that the Tigers have checked in on Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas in potential trade negotiations. The August 1 MLB trade deadline is swiftly approaching and the Tigers are poised to make a number of medium-stakes trades. It’s no secret that Scott Harris will be fielding offers for Eduardo

The Detroit Tigers wrap up their current homestand this week after hosting a pair of National League West division teams over the past four days. They dropped two games to one against the visiting San Diego Padres over the weekend but triumphed over the San Francisco Giants, which completed a sweep for a series originally

On Monday afternoon, the Detroit Tigers beat the San Francisco Giants 5-1 in a makeup of a game that was rained out in April. I’m sure the players would’ve much rather had the day off, but that’s how the ball bounces sometimes, I guess. Tarik Skubal made his fourth start for the Tigers this year,

Well, Sunday was moving day in the farm system, and the major league roster has followed suit on Monday. This morning, the Tigers announced a series of moves involving their pitching.

Alex Faedo wasn’t quite at his best, but he kept the San Diego Padres off balance enough to avoid their power as the pitching staff put together a complete performance on Sunday. The offense didn’t exactly get loose, but a pair of solo shots held up for a winning margin as they took the third

Well this one got ugly. A rain delay led to a short night for Matt Manning, and AJ Hinch’s bullpen management in this series, along with the Scott Harris’ desire to keep Mason Englert, led to a debacle as the Padres erased a 3-0 deficit and turned it into a complete rout of the Tigers.

Lehigh Valley IronPigs 9, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (box) Bryan Sammons threw a pretty good game, but once again the offense was quiet and the bullpen came unglued on Thursday. The Hens had an early lead when Tyler Nevin doubled and later scored on a passed ball in the bottom of the second inning. Otherwise
