As free agency opens on Monday, the Tigers have announced a host of moves to set up their roster for the offseason. First and foremost, they’ve exercised their club options on catcher Carson Kelly and outfielder Mark Canha. Obviously the Tigers traded for Canha specifically to exercise said option, so no surprise there, but Kelly

Scott Harris and Jeff Greenberg aren’t wasting time. The offseason has just begun, and they’ve already targeted a bat in trade. On Saturday, the Tigers traded relief prospect Blake Holub to the Milwaukee Brewers for veteran OF/1B Mark Canha. The Brewers held an $11.5 million option on Canha for 2024 which they presumably weren’t ever

At no point this season did anyone seriously expect Detroit Tigers left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez to opt into the remaining three years and $49 million left on the five year pact signed in the 2021-2022 offseason. And with not even the hint of a rumor of re-negotiating the deal during the season, after a very strange

In 2034 the Tigers bid farewell to Miguel Cabrera, a player we’d seen in hundreds of games over a decade of time. Miggy was a part of the fabric of the team, and it will certainly be strange not to see him in a Tigers’ jersey next spring. But where there are decade-long veterans of

On Thursday morning, MLB announced the finalists for the 2023 Silver Slugger awards, and the Tigers have a representative. First baseman Spencer Torkelson is one of four American League first baseman named finalists for the award at that position. The Silver Slugger Award are presented to the best offensive player in the league at each

Well that was a typically fascinating and unpredictable postseason, yet in the end, the team that looked like the best in baseball during most of the regular season figured it out and did the deed. The Texas Rangers have their first World Series title in franchise history. There are certainly some fascinating little notes in

The Arizona DIamondbacks looked to have seized Game 1 on the road, until Corey Seager and Adolis Garcia came through with some all-time great heroics. Seager’s game tying two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth was epic enough, but Garcia was ready to ice the cake two innings later as his incredible postseason heroics

Arizona Fall League play has been underway since early October, and things are going very well for most of the Detroit Tigers’ minor leaguers playing for the Salt River Rafters. Top pitching prospect Jackson Jobe has been the star attraction, with right-hander Wilmer Flores and infielder Jace Jung forming a pretty strong trio of young

Jim Leyland has accomplished many things in his storied baseball career, but soon he may be able to add Hall of Famer to his other merits. Leyland whose lengthy managerial career ended in 2013 with the Tigers, was just announced to be one of eight names eligible for Hall of Fame voting by the Contemporary

The finalists for the 2023 Rawlings Gold Glove Awards were released on Wednesday, and the lone representative from the Detroit Tigers is perhaps not the name you would have guessed. Zach McKinstry got the nod, along with Mauricio Dubon of the Houston Astros and Taylor Walls of the Tampa Bay Rays, as the three finalists

Hard to believe it’s mid-October and we’re only at the start of the league championship series. The league championships will feature an all Texas ALCS with the Houston Astros looking to defend against the Texas Rangers. The NLCS will see the upstarts in the NL East and West, the Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks, in

When a player returns from a major injury, it’s always difficult to know what to expect. Baseball is hard enough to predict from year to year for healthy players, but results can really vary wildly when there is an injury and a long layoff involved. The Detroit Tigers had a lot of individual success stories

Major League Baseball’s playoffs will fill the calendar during the month of October, with the World Series set to end between November 1 and November 4, 2023. Here are the key dates to remember as teams negotiate their way through the off season calendar. Free agency begins immediately after the World Series for players with

The Amerian League and National League Division Series start on Saturday, Oct. 7, with four games to keep Major League Baseball fans occupied despite the thick of the football season. The American League has the Texas Rangers at the Baltimore Orioles starting at 1:03 p.m. EDT, followed by the Minnesota Twins at the Houston Astros

MLB Trade Rumors has published their 2024 projected salaries for baseball’s arbitration eligible players. Matt Swartz has developed a model that is widely respected and generally very accurate in his projections. The Tigers will have up to eight players eligible for arbitration for the 2024 season. We say “up to” eight, because players can be

The Detroit Tigers’ 2023 campaign came to an end on Sunday after they defeated the visiting Cleveland Guardians in the final game of the season, 5-2, to clinch sole possession of second place in the American League Central with a final record of 78-84. While the Motor City Kitties once again missed the playoffs while

After five seasons as the Detroit Tigers’ television broadcast play-by-play announcer, news broke this week that Matt Shepard would not be returning to the Bally broadcast booth for the 2024 season. While the news of Shepard’s departure does not appear tied to any kind of workplace strife, it may also not come as a surprise

What were you doing on Friday, June 20, 2003? George W. Bush was President of the United States, Jean Chrétien was Prime Minister of Canada, and Tony Blair was Prime Minister of the UK. The number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100 was “21 Questions” by 50 Cent (featuring Nate Dogg). I was a still-wet-behind-the-ears
