Since that day, the Detroit Tigers have gone 48-36, good for one of the better records in the American League, and have surged into second place behind the Chicago White Sox. I ask myself this question every time I check the standings, which, as of late, has been quite often. The Detroit Tigers have been…
Apologies to any superstitious readers who have triskaidekaphobia. Vern Ruhle rooted for Al Kaline and the Detroit Tigers when he was growing up in Coleman, Michigan. He made his big league debut in September 1974, just in time to be the soon-to-be retired Kaline’s teammate. In 1976, Ruhle was in his second full season as…
The recent rash of injuries to Detroit Tigers position players led the club on Wednesday to formally select the contract of Jacob Robson. So who is Detroit’s newest outfielder, and what can he do on the baseball field?
Late on Wednesday evening, shortly after the Detroit Tigers had taken a 5-0 lead over the Baltimore Orioles, NBC Sports Washington writer Pete Hailey decided to send a very dumb Tweet: Watching Os-Tigers and realizing how little I’ve thought about the Detroit freaking Tigers in my life. What a boring franchise. Have they mattered since…
In the series against Cleveland, the Detroit Tigers saw their defense cost them the series in the rubber match on Sunday as Zach Short’s two errors allowed for Cleveland to come back in the game. As a collective, the Tigers are -17 in DRS at shortstop.
Back when I started the Detroit Tigers Minor League Report, I spent time looking at World Series winners and the core of teams I grew watching. Since the Tigers have drafted high in the last four seasons, there is a good chance a good amount of a potential World Series-winning team would be built with…
There was a segment of the fan base that wanted Jonathan Schoop gone, no matter the cost. Their reasoning was fairly sound—they felt a player on a one-year deal would not be a part of the next Detroit Tigers contender.

Miguel Cabrera’s pursuit of history is likely to be the dominant Detroit Tigers storyline over the final two months of the season. And it should be. Yes, the Detroit Tigers have some exciting young players. And yes, they are flirting with relevance for the first time in five years. But the hole they dug in…
Throughout Tigers history, dating back to the earliest days of the franchise, men from around the globe have journeyed to Detroit to pursue their baseball dreams. In the conclusion of a two-part series, Motor City Bengals shines the spotlight on the first Detroit Tigers player born in each of these international lands. (Click here for…
The Detroit Tigers enter Friday 53-58, coming off an 8-1 win over the Red Sox with another scrappy and aggressive offensive performance. Their quietly effective bullpen came through yet again after 5 scoreless innings from starter Tarik Skubal. But this roster’s successes go beyond the mound. Players that did not make the opening day trip…
Anytime a Major League Baseball team vastly outperforms their preseason expectations, there are typically a bevy of unexpected analytical aspects that point to what happened. That is certainly true of this year’s Detroit Tigers, who were projected my most prognosticators to dwell among the worst teams in all of baseball in 2021.
Earlier in the week, Detroit Tigers owner Christopher Ilitch spoke about seeking high-end talent for 2022. So instantly, a few names came to mind, should this scenario happen.

When the Detroit Tigers selected Derek Hill 25th overall in the 2014 MLB Draft, the Tigers were in the midst of one of their most prosperous periods in franchise history. Hill was drafted on his speed potential and his defense, which was considered then a 60-grade tool by Kiley McDaniel when he was at FanGraphs. …
It is has been tough to watch Miguel Cabrera age. Once upon a time, we watched other big-bodied unicorns like David Ortiz age gracefully into their late-30’s; continuing to provide production for a competitive club. The hope was that Miguel Cabrera could do the same for the Detroit Tigers for a team that would presumably…
