Jeimer Candelario and Isaac Paredes came to the Detroit Tigers in a mid-season trade in which Detroit moved Justin Wilson and Alex Avila to the Cubs. The Tigers have shipped away endless firepower over the past five to ten years, but this trade appears to be the one with the best returns, with Candelario being…

A tense, fast-paced, low scoring game completely flipped its script in the late innings on Sunday. Neither bullpen covered themselves in glory, but the Tigers put together a rally in the 11th, loaded the bases, and won when Robbie Grossman drew a walk for his fourth walkoff of the season. Tarik Skubal got the start,

The Detroit Tigers and Tampa Bay Rays split the first two of their three-game weekend series with the hometown boys prevailing on Friday night behind a home run barrage, 10-4, while the visitors struck back on Saturday against Casey Mize for a 7-2 victory. Now on Sunday, the two tangle once more to see who
The Detroit Tigers managed just three hits in this one as the Rays beat up on Casey Mize and Bryan Garcia to even the series at a game apiece. It just wasn’t the Tigers day. Casey Mize was due for another short outing, but this wasn’t quite what manager A.J. Hinch had in mind. After

Once again, the Detroit Tigers seem to get up for series against the better teams in the game. After Friday night’s convincing victory, they hold a 31-30 record against teams with a winning record, which is pretty encouraging. They’ll look to secure another series victory on Saturday night, and they should have the advantage in
There are big “what-if’s” in sports–what if Derek Jeter got drafted by the Houston Astros? Or, what if Michael Jordan never retired? What if the Detroit Pistons took Carmelo Anthony or Chris Bosh or Dwayne Wade in the 2003 draft? It may not be the same magnitude as these franchise-altering decisions, but I cannot help…
This hasn’t been a good week for the Detroit Tigers in terms of injuries. Other teams have greater cause for complaint, but the Tigers now have two notable pieces in their 2022 plans out for the long haul in Spencer Turnbull and Jake Rogers. The young Tigers’ backstop underwent UCL replacement on Wednesday, and is
On a night that started on a real down note as Matthew Boyd was scratched with ongoing elbow trouble, Tyler Alexander gave the Detroit Tigers a heck of a spot start and an explosion of home run power in the late innings carried the Tigers over the Rays. Much credit is due to Alexander in

If there was one team that clubs would be wanting to avoid as the season winds down it would be the AL-leading Tampa Bay Rays. Despite competing against three other playoff hopefuls, the Rays have a huge lead in the AL East and are clearly the ones to beat in October. Although the team from
One request I have for when Verlander starts discussing retirement is to offer him a one-day contract so that he can end his career wearing a Detroit Tigers uniform. Few have done this before, but one player that stands out to me is Roy “Doc” Halladay.
Iowa Cubs 5, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) The Cubs jumped on Nivaldo Rodriguez for a four-run first inning, and Cory Abbott dominated the Hens lineup on Thursday. A Ryan Kreidler throwing error allowed the Cubs first runner to reach base in the first inning, but Rodriguez allowed two home runs in the inning, so
Toledo Mud Hens 7, Iowa Cubs 5 (box) The Mud Hens’ offense stormed back late to down the Cubs on Wednesday. Pedro Payano got the start and leaked a few early runs before settling in a bit. The Hens finally got on the board in the sixth on back-to-back doubles from Riley Greene and Isaac
Wednesday’s news of Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers going under the knife for Tommy John Surgery was disheartening to be sure but probably not shocking. Rogers had been out for some time with an arm ailment and not much positive news was leaking out.
Big nights at the plate from Miguel Cabrera and Robbie Grossman powered the Tigers to a win in Pittsburgh, avoiding the series sweep with a 5-1 victory on Wednesday night. Matt Manning got the start in this one, and it was a good one, if abbreviated. After a leadoff single from Ke’Bryan Hayes, Manning got
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch was a guest on MLB Network Radio yesterday morning, and when the subject turned to Spencer Torkelson, Hinch said what everyone already suspected: The experiment at third base was cute, and Spencer Torkelson was passable there. But he has now played 21 games in Toledo, and 20 of them have…
Toledo Mud Hens 8, Iowa Cubs 2 (box) Logan Shore pitched a really good game and the Hens big bats brought the thump as they took it to the Cubs on Tuesday night. Shore allowed one run across six innings of work with seven punchouts. Spencer Torkelson unlocked a 1-1 tie in the third when
A night of lots of traffic and little run scoring was the theme in Pittsburgh as the Tigers took on the Pirates in the second of a three game series. This was not a very eventful game outside of a few plays as both teams seemed to play a big game of chicken to see
