For the Detroit Tigers, the 2022 season has been a nightmare. The Tigers entered the All-Star break with eight losses in nine games and a 37-55 record. Due to injuries and an anemic offense, the Tigers are 18 games under .500, 12 games behind the first-place Minnesota Twins in the American League Central and 12½ games out of an

I’m calling my shot. Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to introduce you to Joe Miller, who I predict will one day be the Detroit Tigers‘ president and general manager. If my crystal ball is right — and it’s never wrong, except for game predictions and season predictions and other assorted matters — Miller will take over the

Toyloy Brown III, Cale Clinton, Kaleb Anderson, Damon Brooks Jr. |  USA TODAY Sports The Rally Monkey has been a fixture at Angels Stadium since 2000. But it wasn’t until the Los Angeles Angels’ 2002 championship run that it became a popular tradition that players and fans rallied around during games. And while the Rally Monkey is

The first few rounds of the 2022 MLB draft are history but there are still plenty of picks to come. Wondering where to watch? You can catch Rounds 3-10 Monday on MLB Network before watching 11-20 on Tuesday. Last year, the Detroit Tigers selected catcher Josh Crouch out of Central Florida in the 11th round. After taking two

The Detroit Tigers need more position players. Both in the big leagues and in the farm system. Rankings don’t always tell the full story, but once rookie outfielder Riley Greene — the consensus No. 1 prospect in baseball — graduates from prospect status later this season, the Tigers will have one player on MLB Pipeline’s top 100

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera and left-handed closer Gregory Soto appeared for the American League team in the 2022 All-Star Game on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Cabrera, 39, was selected to the 12th All-Star Game of his 20-year career, this time as an “All-Star Legends Selection” — along with St. Louis

The Detroit Tigers are set to make 10 selections Tuesday in the 2022 MLB draft, taking them through the full 20 rounds after two picks Sunday in Rounds 1-2 and seven picks Monday in Rounds 3-10. Rounds 11-20 began at 2 p.m. Tuesday. On Sunday, the Tigers drafted two college position players: Texas Tech second baseman Jace

The Detroit Lions, Detroit Pistons, Detroit Red Wings and now the Detroit Tigers have all secured premium young talent as draft season nears its end. Nothing can excite the fanbase of four struggling franchises like new faces. Detroit franchises combined for six first-round picks in 2022 drafts. The Lions nabbed Michigan football defensive end Aidan Hutchinson and Alabama wide receiver

The odd couple is back together again. Jace Jung, the Detroit Tigers‘ first-round draft pick, is loud, outgoing and full of personality. But Peyton Graham, the Tigers’ second-round pick, is reserved and quiet, a young man of so few words that he’s hard to figure out at times. Some scouts couldn’t seem to get a handle on

When Detroit Tigers closer Gregory Soto arrived at Coors Field in Denver last July for the All-Star Game, the first-time All-Star sought out New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman, a fellow flamethrower in town for the seventh Midsummer Classic of his career. Soto and Chapman talked at length about the mindset of a closer. “No matter how it

The Detroit Tigers made seven selections Monday in the 2022 MLB draft, completing 10 of the 20 rounds. On Sunday, the Tigers made two picks: Texas Tech second baseman Jace Jung in Round 1 (No. 12 overall) and Oklahoma shortstop Peyton Graham in Round 2 (No. 51 overall). Rounds 11-20 begin at 2 p.m. Tuesday. “We were

While many in Michigan were following along with the 2022 MLB draft to see who the Detroit Tigers would select, there were others with local ties who are going to the next level. Here is a rundown of the local talent taken so far in this year’s MLB draft: TIGERS PICKS: Day 2: Breaking down Tigers’

The first few rounds of the 2022 MLB draft are history but there are still plenty of picks to come. Wondering where to watch?

Sunday marked the start of the 2022 MLB draft, though we’ll excuse you if you didn’t stick around for all 80 picks of Day 1. (Central Michigan pitcher Andrew Taylor went to the Astros to wrap up the night at roughly 12:30 a.m.) Or make the jump from ESPN to MLB Network for the second

Nobody saw this coming. Brock Porter was widely expected to be taken somewhere in the top 15 of the 2022 MLB draft with the potential of a fall into the 30s given the uncertainty around high school pitchers. Porter, ranked the No. 7 prospect in the draft by Baseball America entering the draft, was finally selected

The Detroit Tigers might have found their double-play tandem of the future in the draft on Sunday night. Fire and the Icicle. The fire? That would be Jace Jung, a second baseman from Texas Tech and one of the best college hitters in this draft. But Jung brings something else. Something important this rebuild needs

Earlier this month, the Detroit Tigers looked like the team so many envisioned back in the spring: timely at the plate, fundamental in the field, sturdy on the mound. And though the combination didn’t blow up the stat sheet, it led to a six-game winning streak that was enough to cause a second look. Or,

The Detroit Tigers selected Peyton Graham with the No. 51 pick in the 2022 MLB draft on Sunday night. The shortstop out of Oklahoma is fresh off helping lead the Sooners to a runner-up finish in the College World Series. While doing so, he became the first Division I player with 20 home runs and 30
