It’s difficult to believe that Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers, is 21 years old. Perhaps even more difficult to fathom is that it is now tied as the 14th oldest ballpark in the league with Houston’s Minute Maid Park and San Fransisco’s Oracle Park. This new age of stadium assembly via taxpayer dollars…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! That being said with baseball in a dormant state, I wanted to give you my holiday wish list for the Detroit Tigers heading into 2022. We’ve already seen the team make some major moves like bringing in Javier Baez and Eduardo Rodriguez. In the spirit of the…

The 2021 Detroit Tigers minor league season gave us unfamiliar names that rose through the system. Last season, we saw Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal and Matt Manning move up from prospect status to rotation mainstays. So the question is, who is the next pitching prospect going to be and what type of pitching arsenal are…

The Detroit Tigers were interested in Carlos Correa. They didn’t care to be very private about their affection, either. The meeting was blown off by Hinch as a meeting between friends and delivering a gift for Correa’s new baby, but their meeting nearly broke the internet and certainly contained conversation beyond the best brand of…

For years now, the Detroit Tigers brass has made it clear that the long and painful rebuild that we fans have had to endure for approximately five years now was centered on developing starting pitching, and we have seen this focus pay dividends with the blossoming of Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, and Matt Manning.

This is the second of a dozen articles about the best individual player tools in the Detroit Tigers farm system — also known as The 12 Tools of Christmas. You can read about the best hitters in the system here.

The Detroit Tigers are finally starting to spend money and try and build a contending team. But, many fans are still upset the Tigers didn’t sign more players before the lockout. Though what I think a lot more people have to realize is that it’s not gonna take just one free agency class to be…

The rest of the world has not stopped playing baseball as the Dominican Winter League (LIDOM) is in full swing and several Detroit Tigers including Willi Castro,  Ángel De Jesύs, who was just added to the 40-man roster, and Drew Carlton, have all have seen action.

MLB owners have locked out the players, so Detroit Tigers news figures to be a bit scarce for the next few weeks. But that lull gives us a chance to look to the minor leagues and hopefully give readers a better idea of the skills displayed by players in Detroit’s farm system.

With the lockout in full swing, it allows the opportunity to look at the game of baseball from various angles. One angle that has been on my mind for quite some time is the game’s growth within the young demographics.

For most of “Contender November” we focused on potential free agent signings and trades to make the Detroit Tigers better. The Tigers did their part by trading for Tucker Barnhart and signing Eduardo Rodriguez and Javier Báez to big contracts, but the MLB lockout has cast a pall over what should have been an exciting…

Yesterday was the first “Victory Monday” of the season for the Detroit Lions, and with Major League Baseball on strike, I thought it’d be a fun idea to give the Detroit Tigers something to do and see how the roster would line up on the gridiron!

On my Twitter account (@Lions_superbowl), I asked my followers what Detroit Tigers questions they wanted my thoughts and opinions on. Here are some of my answers: Who is gonna be our opening day starter?

On November 30th, 2021 at 1:51 am, MLB insider Jon Morosi broke the news that shortstop Javier Báez and the Detroit Tigers have reached an agreement on a 6-year deal worth $140 million. Now, with the Tigers signing the shortstop everyone was waiting for, the question is who else should the Tigers target? I am…

The Detroit Tigers came into this offseason with huge question mark at shortstop, and early Tuesday morning they found their answer in the form of Javier Báez. It was just the latest big signing in what has been one of the most frenzied weeks of player movement in recent memory; the impending lockout like an…

If you follow the KBO League that exists in South Korea, the league ended last week with the KT Wiz winning the championship over the Doosan Bears, one of the original founding franchises of the KBO when it started in 1982. The Bears featured the league MVP Ariel Miranda, who has had an impressive run…

Now and then we enjoy getting the pulse of the Detroit Tigers fanbase. Questions allow thought exercises that maybe we haven’t explored ourselves; and with a work-stoppage all-but-certain, what better time to see how fans are feeling?
