As we move into the busy part of the offseason, it is seemingly becoming more likely that the Reds are going to trade starting second baseman Jonathan India. While Nick Krall, the president of baseball operations for Cincinnati, has stated that they aren’t motivated to move him, his name continues to pop up among baseball’s

The deadline for major league teams to tender contracts to arbitration eligible 40-man roster players was 8:00 p.m. ET on Friday evening. The Tigers declined to do so in the case of RHP Spencer Turnbull and OF Austin Meadows, making them both free agents. RHP Freddy Pacheco, RHP Garrett Hill, and RHP Brenan Hanifee were
Baseball can sometimes look like an easy game to play. As many non-fans will point out, there is quite a lot of standing around being done at any given point. But I think baseball devotees recognize that there is an inherent level of difficulty associated with each position on the field. For today’s open thread,
Eduardo Rodriguez is gone to free agency, and as expected the Tigers now have a real problem to solve. Pitching was the club’s relative strength in 2023, and while they made a very nice move to swoop in on Mark Canha already this offseason, few expect the Tigers’ offense to be much more than an
The Detroit Tigers made just two additions to their 40-man roster on Tuesday. Both catcher Dillon Dingler and RHP Wilmer Flores were added today to protect them from the Rule 5 draft in December. A pair of right-handed relievers were designated for assignment. The Tigers also made a small signing, inking outfielder Bligh Madris to
Monday afternoon, the New York Yankees hired Detroit Tigers assistant hitting coach James Rowson for their head hitting coach vacancy. Rowson spent just one season in Detroit, meaning New York will be Rowson’s third team in as many years. This is his third time taking a coaching job with the Yanks; he spent the 2007-12
The Tigers have officially made one of their best and boldest moves of the offseason, and technically it was a move made by Bally Sports and not the Tigers at all. With the hiring of former White Sox play-by-play announcer (and one of the best announcers currently working in baseball), the Tigers are poised to
There had been precious little to report in terms of Bally Sports or the Detroit Tigers search for their next play-by-play announcer in the wake of Matt Shepard’s departure until today. And this is really good news. Ilitch Companies announced on Thursday morning that they’ve hired Jason Benetti as the new Tigers play-by-play announcer. The
The Detroit Tigers announced on Wednesday that they’ve hired Joey Cora as their new infield coach. A former major leaguer and most recently the New York Mets third base coach, Cora is expected to take over at third base according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press, who was first with the story. In
On November 14, major league teams will have to add any prospect they want protected from the Rule 5 draft to their 40-man rosters. Currently, the Tigers 40-man roster is set at 40 players, so they’ll have to make cuts in order to protect their top prospects who would otherwise be Rule 5 draft eligible.
After striking quickly for a little positional help, the Detroit Tigers’ focus quickly turns to pitching in the wake of Eduardo Rodriguez’s decision to test free agency. Adding Mark Canha was a solid move, but it doesn’t turn the offense into a real force either. Picking up Carson Kelly ensures a strong defensive catching group,
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
