The Tigers probably didn’t expect Bryce Rainer to fall to them on the first day of the 2024 MLB Draft. Most of the draft-related media thought he’d be off the board before the eleventh pick, where he fell into Detroit’s lap. When the opportunity presented itself to bring the talented prep shortstop into the fold,

The Detroit Tigers signed Josue Briceño as part of the final group of international prospects under Al Avila’s leadership, and the young catcher has blossomed into an excellent parting gift from the erstwhile general manager. He was on our radar at this time a year ago, but the growth he showed during the 2024 season

Let’s face it, if we’re all still Tigers fans after the way the past nine years have gone (and many of our frequent readers and commenters will remember 2003 all too well), then we will be Tigers fans forever. When you suffer enough, complain enough, but still show up year after year, you’re definitely a

Thursday was the final day for major league teams to come to agreement with the arbitration eligible players. The Tigers announced terms with most of those players as of this writing, presumably with more to follow as word leaks out. The biggest of these was an agreement on a $10.15 million contract for 2025 for

Since taking over from Al Avila in the fall of 2022, Scott Harris and his staff have done a lot right in building up the Detroit Tigers’ farm system. In the early going, their two draft classes are off to a strong start and they’ve made several strong trades to prime the organization for long-term

When the Tigers drafted Max Clark with the third overall pick in 2023, the decision sent Tigers fans into turmoil. He wasn’t the player most fans had settled on as their preference in that draft class and Clark wasn’t exactly welcomed with open arms into the organization. A full season later, the specter of what

The Detroit Tigers’ first draft under president Scott Harris is quickly looking like a gem. After landing Max Clark with the third overall pick in 2023, they targeted prep shortstop Kevin McGonigle with their competitive balance A pick, which was 37th overall. There was plenty of debate between Clark and outfielder Wyatt Langford at the

Welcome to the first week of a brand new year. We are now only a little over a month away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training, so the hot stove is bound to get hotter over the coming weeks. Things didn’t come to a standstill over the holiday season as you’ll see below,

We’ve talked a lot about acquisitions the Detroit Tigers should make over the past few months, but it’s pretty nice to have arguably the game’s top pitching prospect in your back pocket already. Jackson Jobe still has a long way to go to reach his full potential, but as he showed all season long, the

The holidays are over and winter has the glorious Great Lakes region in its grip once again. Baby it’s cold and dark outside in the north country. However, spring training and what looks like a potentially exciting sequel to the Tigers miraculous 2024 postseason run begins in only seven weeks. By mid February we’ll have

Baseball right now is chock full of dynamic, exciting players who are just a ton of fun to watch. These players can be the best in baseball—who among us didn’t enjoy watching Shohei Ohtani surpass the 50/50 mark and spotlight his adorable dog at games—but there are players on every team that are just as

The Detroit Tigers made a nice small scale move on Friday, inking Gleyber Torres to a one-year, $15 million contract for the 2025 season. While Torres is set to play second base on a full-time basis, the move appears more motivated by the situation at first base. Spencer Torkelson is on the outs unless something

The second film in this baseball film review series is a biopic of legendary baseball star (and great human) Lou Gehrig. It follows his life and playing career, debuting only a year and a half after his untimely death from the disease that now bears his name. The film features many real baseball players and

The Detroit Tigers finally made a move on Friday morning. As Jon Heyman of the New York Post first reported, the Tigers are set to sign infielder Gleyber Torres to a one-year deal worth $15 million. Jesse Rogers of ESPN had the contract details. The move makes sense for the Tigers lineup, though the fit
