It’s that time once again. Winter has finally located the glorious Great Lakes state, and while attention is firmly focused on the Detroit Lions, pitchers and catchers will be reporting to Lakeland just a few weeks now. And so, before we get into preseason coverage of the Detroit Tigers’ proper, it’s time for our 2024

The Detroit Tigers certainly have a “type” when it comes to prospects, and that type is typified by a hard-throwing right-handed pitcher with high velocity and a good pitch mix. There’s nothing wrong with that, either, as it exemplifies a high-use/high-value player that can either be developed within the system or traded as needed. The
On Monday morning, Eric Longenhagen at FanGraphs released his Detroit Tigers prospect list for the 2024 season. Unsurprisingly, it began with right-handed starting pitcher Jackson Jobe at the top of the pile. Unlike MLB Pipeline and Baseball America, who cap their organizational rankings to 30 and 10 players respectively, FanGraphs does not limit the slots
Before our brand new prospect rankings come out later this week, there have been a few smaller news items regarding the farm system to catch up on. The Tigers announced most of their 2024 international free agent class last week, as we reported here, but the most interesting player is likely their 2025 top free
The Detroit Tigers settled their last remaining potential arbitration case by coming to terms with right handed pitcher Casey Mize on what qualifies as a multi year contract. The deal will pay Mize a salary of $830,000 for the 2024 season with a club option for $3.1 million in 2025. Mize had requested $840,000 in
This one may get divisive, so I will say right up front: there is no way to have one right or wrong answer for this question, only because of how baseball changes over the decades, how records are kept, and what value we use to measure a player’s worth or greatness. All of those things
While the 2024 Major League Baseball season starts to draw closer, one of the main questions of the offseason had remained unanswered. With Diamond Sports, the company that owns the Bally Sports and other regional broadcast rights, going through bankruptcy proceedings and proposing restructuring plans, it has remained a mystery whether the various networks would
The Detroit Tigers opened the 2024 international signing period on Monday looking to change their long-standing poor fortunes in talent acquisition in the international free agent market. Of course, they’ve said that for a long, long time, and whether the new front office has done so or not, we won’t know for years to come.
On Thursday, the Detroit Tigers agreed to salary terms for the 2024 baseball season with three players who were eligible for arbitration. The deadline for players and clubs to come to an agreement was 1:00 p.m. with an 8 p.m. deadline to exchange figures in advance of arbitration hearings, and so the evening was filled
The thought of bringing home JD “Just Dingerz” Martinez for a final short run with the Detroit Tigers has been on the back of a lot of Tigers fans’ minds this offseason. In isolation, it’s certainly an attractive idea. His shocking run from 2014-2017 after getting ditched by the Houston Astros and picked up for
Welcome to 2024, and more importantly, welcome to the 6-week countdown to spring training. While the offseason obviously isn’t over yet, there are still free agents on the market, still potential trades hiding up GM sleeves, I think it’s a safe time to start reflecting on how hot stove season went. In our open thread
As we arrive at the last Friday of 2023, it seems like the perfect time to take a look back at the year that was. Baseball in Detroit felt fun again, even if there were issues, and even if the Tigers didn’t have a “winning” season. In fairness to them, only one team in the
The Detroit Tigers have added a lot to their player development programs over the last few seasons, and under Scott Harris that process has only expanded. The Tigers are making another significant hire in adding former MLB pitcher and most recently the Los Angeles Angels pitching coordinator, Dylan Axelrod. The 38-year-old will hold a new
The Tigers’ offense in 2022 was offensive, and their offense this past season was only marginally less unpleasant to watch. In the two seasons, they scored 557 and 661 runs, which were good for 30th and 27th in MLB respectively. If you take into account the average runs scored per team increase of 54 from
On Friday morning, the Tigers picked up another stocking stuffer, as it were. Kiley McDaniel of ESPN first reported that the club was in agreement with veteran right-hander Shelby Miller on a one-year contract with a club option for 2025. The Tigers will pay him $3M in 2023, with a club option worth $4.25M for
Hanukkah is just behind us and Christmas is right around the corner, so it seems like the perfect seasonal time to think about some ideal wishes we would put on the Tigers’ letters to Santa Claus this year. The team has been making some fairly fun moves and they do seem open to making more,
We’re closing in on Christmas, but a somewhat slow moving offseason that was dominated for several weeks by the Shohei Ohtani pursuit means there are still a lot of top free agents left on the board. So it follows that there are a lot of teams out there whose rosters are far from finalized. The
In any established team, there’s always a guy. You know what I mean, the “guy.” He’s the most recognizable face on the team, the one you see hanging on a 100-foot-tall banner outside the stadium. He’s the one whose name is synonymous with the franchise for years and years. He may not even be the
Jeff Passan of ESPN reported on Thursday night that the Detroit Tigers and 28-year-old right-handed starter Jack Flaherty are in agreement on a one-year deal for $14M. The deal has incentives for reaching various numbers of starts in the 2024 season that could make it worth $15M total. As Scott Harris has said repeatedly this
On Monday night, newly retired Tigers great Miguel Cabrera took part in the Venezuelan edition of the home run derby. The festivities at La Rinconada Stadium in Caracas were designed to celebrate Venezuela’s favorite baseball son. Top Venezuelan players like Ronald Acuña Jr., Eugenio Suarez, and Brewers top prospect Jackson Chourio all honored Cabrera as
