After a lacklustre showing on Friday night, the Detroit Tigers looked to rebound for the Saturday afternoon Fiesta Tigres game with over thirty thousand in attendance. In the end, the Tigers won 4-2 in a nail-biter of a finish, with a very unexpected pitcher getting the save. (No, it wasn’t Zack Short. Try again.) Tarik

The Tigers have a knack for finding pitching prospects at a bargain, and it looks like they may have done it again. Troy Melton was the team’s fourth round draftee in 2022, but he was somewhat overlooked at the time. Now, he’s at West Michigan, and his performance demands the attention he didn’t get on

On Friday night, the Tampa Bay Rays paid a visit to Detroit for the first of a three-game series with the Tigers. Unfortunately, despite their recent struggles, the Rays reverted to their early-season form, smothering the Tigers to the tune of a 8-0 score. Reese Olson got the nod for the Tigers, in his ninth

When the Detroit Tigers selected an 18-year-old Parker Meadows with the first pick in the second round of the 2018 draft, we were pretty pleased with the idea. The center fielder’s eye-popping potential was obvious, and while it was characterized as a bit of a reach, it was the kind of chance on a prep

The Detroit Tigers return home on Friday following a short road trip that saw them drop two of three at the Miami Marlins followed by a split with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Now with that short interleague jaunt in the books, the Motor City Kitties prepare to face the team that swept them out of the

Toledo Mud Hens 9, Iowa Cubs 8 (Gm1)(F/7)(box) Toledo Mud Hens 11, Iowa Cubs 4 (Gm2)(F/7)(box) Starter Sawyer Gipson-Long struggled in this one, but the big bats were there to pick him up in Thursday night’s Game 1. Colt Keith ripped a double with two outs in the top of the first, and Tyler Nevin

Born in Venezuela. Raised in Miami. Crowned in Detroit. I’m borrowing from the fine folks that run the Detroit Tigers Twitter (X?) account, but those nine words best describe the recent weekend series played in South Florida. The Miguel Cabrera retirement tour has been mildly entertaining, and something of a relief if we’re for Tigers

Toledo Mud Hens at Iowa Cubs (postponed) The were rained out in Des Moines on Wednesday. Game 1 is set for 6:08 p.m. ET on Thursday, with the makeup game coming afterwards. Harrisburg Senators 10, Erie SeaWolves 3 (box) Alex Faedo got the start on Wednesday, as the Tigers sent him down briefly as a

I might be in the minority of Tigers fans, but I’m happy that Eduardo Rodriguez decided to turn down his trade. I’ll eat those words if he decides to exercise his opt-out at the end of the year, but I’m CHOOSING to believe that he stayed because he likes it in Detroit. He was supposed

The first domino, ultimately the only domino, to fall for the Detroit Tigers at the trade deadline was sending Michael Lorenzen to the Phillies for infield prospect Hao-Yu Lee. In a sellers market, this trade seems slightly underwhelming at face value. However, if this was the market, Harris decided to go with a 1-for-1 deal

Toledo Mud Hens 8, Iowa Cubs 2 (box) The Mud Hens fought off a little push in the middle innings and then stormed to victory on Tuesday night. They gave starter Jack O’Loughlin a bit of a lead in the first when Parker Meadows opened the game with a single, stole second base, and scored

For a match-up that has frequently felt like a schedule-forced rivalry, it feels like it’s been a while since the Tigers have had to play the Pirates. In a short two-game series, the first game against the two clubs went… pretty mid, as the kids would say. Eduardo Rodriguez was supposed to be the night’s

The first trade deadline for Tigers’ President of Baseball Ops Scott Harris went over like the proverbial lead balloon on Tuesday. After making a solid, if uninspiring deal to send Michael Lorenzen to Philadelphia for infield prospect Hao-Yu Lee, Harris and the Los Angeles Dodgers had apparently negotiated a trade for left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez in

Two and a half hours before the MLB trade deadline, the Tigers executed their first significant trade — flipping starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen to the Philadelphia Phillies. Reportedly, the returning prospect is 20-year-old second baseman Hao-Yu Lee. Initially, the trade return for Lorenzen seems solid, but not particularly impressive. We’ve seen teams overpaying for pitchers
