The Detroit Tigers in the last month have added 14 players through minor league contacts, with a few getting minor league invites to spring training. We highlighted a few of the signings earlier in the month so let’s breakdown the most recent ones who posses something that pitching Chris Fetter could work with including the…
Barring any stunning developments over the next five weeks, it seems likely the Detroit Tigers are content to go through at least one more season of bad baseball to secure another high draft pick. So now seems like a good time to check in on the progress of this draft-reliant rebuild.
Catcher Tyler Flowers turns 35 in a few days, but his mix of power, patience, and framing skills make him an ideal choice to guide the the Detroit Tigers’ stable of young arms.

There was a chance Detroit Tigers blue-chip pitching prospect Matt Manning would see the Detroit Tigers MLB roster at some point in 2020–and while we watched Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal make their respective debuts, many began to wonder why pitchers like Tyler Alexander and Rony Garcia were starting games instead of bringing up someone…
The Detroit Tigers have pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training just under a month from now but several questions are left to answer.

Maybe Detroit Tigers veteran starter Matthew Boyd is who he is; we have collectively been watching and waiting with each passing season for a Matthew Boyd breakout into the ace-like ceiling many have proposed for him.

There’s no way around it – Rony Garcia had a dumpster fire of a season for the Detroit Tigers in 2020. Over 21 innings, Garcia gave up nearly one run per inning, while striking out only six batters per nine innings and walking four per nine. His WHIP of 1.62 was among the worst in…
