Other than Miguel Cabrera himself, no player in the Detroit Tigers’ organization is longer tenured than the man known as Red Bull. Spencer Turnbull was drafted out of Alabama way back in 2014 with their second round selection. For four years he worked his way through the farm system dealing with minor injuries and bouts

With a new season ahead of us, it seemed like a good time to look back at the origins of the game as an organized sport. Typically we tell the story of the game in terms of specific players and teams, but the organizing structures, the clubs and leagues of pro baseball’s early years, formed

Well it’s been quiet on the Detroit Tigers injury front this spring. Too quiet, as it turns out. On Thursday, the club announced that 2021 first round pick Jackson Jobe has been diagnosed with lumbar spine inflammation and will be shut down from three to six months before beginning a rehabilitation program. There’s a good
Reliever Chasen Shreve came the Detroit Tigers spring camp knowing there were bullpen openings for left-handers in particular. The departure of Gregory Soto in the offseason trade with the Philadelphia Phillies left a pretty big hole. In Soto’s wake, Tyler Alexander was the only southpaw reliever with a claim on the active roster. Shreve isn’t
Despite a generally positive spring camp so far for the Detroit Tigers, a quiet offseason in terms of free agents and the pervasive fear surrounding Spencer Torkelson have harshed the vibe, as it were. Concern is justified, but the miserable pessimism has gotten a bit out of hand in some quarters. What’s the point of
As the final roster battles start to take shape in spring training, playing time is at a premium and the cuts in major league camp start coming fast and furious. On Tuesday, the Tigers sent four prospects down to minor league camp. The group is headed by outfielder Parker Meadows and includes infielder Andre Lipcius,
One of the clearest manifestations of a whole new way of doing business for the Detroit Tigers under Scott Harris has been the lengthy list of waiver claims and minor league free agent signings over the past five months. The “roster churn” as it were, is a good sign that the club is leaving no
With just over two weeks left until Opening Day, the Detroit Tigers roster battles are still just starting to take shape. While most of the everyday players are locked in, there are still plenty of question marks in the infield and for the fourth outfielder spot. Meanwhile the bullpen still feels largely up in the

With the first phase of spring camp now over, and a number of Detroit Tigers’ regulars now off to play in the World Baseball Classic, it’s time for some roster trimming to set up the final battles for various roles. And after a blessedly quiet set of injury reports early on, the Tigers have a
In retrospect, the Detroit Tigers 2021 season looks like an odd blip on the radar in the midst of a long period of extremely dismal baseball. Breakouts and career best seasons were abundant as the club posted its best record since 2016 and played good baseball after an awful stretch from mid-April to mid-May. One

Spring training is a dangerous time for predictions. So little of what we see in spring action carries over into the regular season that it’s far too early to get excited. Process matters more than results, so it’s wise to focus more on cut and dried changes players have made, as opposed to worrying over

Another day, another player preview about a pitcher the Detroit Tigers scouted from relative obscurity who now has a legit shot at a major league career. Right-hander Brendan White is a dedicated reliever now, but as a 26th rounder in 2019, he certainly fits with the Wilmer Flores, Beau Brieske, Garrett Hill group as a
As we’ve learned about Detroit Tigers’ president Scott Harris, he’s not going to stop churning the roster in search of help. Even since spring camp opened he’s signed another handful of relievers on minor league deals, and he added another on Saturday night, inking veteran right-hander Trevor Rosenthal to a minor league deal with an
