Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, and Matt Manning — all arrived in Detroit during the past, unsettled year when baseball was blasted by COVID-19’s disruptions, and worse. Derek Hill and Jake Rogers — both are playing, and making a difference, at Comerica Park. Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson and Dillon Dingler should win a ticket to Motown at some point

Detroit – Casey Mize came off the mound after four strong innings Monday and the last person he wanted to see was his manager. He entered the dugout on the opposite end from where AJ Hinch was perched. He kept his back to Hinch as long as he could but he knew he couldn’t avoid
A sore calf and injured finger has left Niko Goodrum off the baseball diamond in recent weeks, but some minor bumps and bruises won’t be enough to stop him from honoring a new tradition. The Detroit Tigers infielder on Tuesday will be at Asbury United Methodist Church in Flint at 10 a.m. to gift 275 cases of water to
Detroit — Here’s a topic to chew on: Should the Tigers be receptive to trade offers for Jeimer Candelario before the July 30 deadline? Some ground rules before we go further with this discussion: While the Tigers have taken some exploratory calls on Candelario from other teams — they have taken cursory calls on several players — he
Detroit — That’s one down. The Tigers on Monday announced they have signed right-handed pitcher Ty Madden, the 32nd overall pick in the Major League Baseball Draft earlier this month. Slot value for that pick is $2,257,300; it’s believed Madden signed for slightly more. Madden was 7-5 with a 2.45 ERA as a red-shirt sophomore,
One of those six position bats the Tigers grabbed 13 months ago in the 2020 Major League Baseball Draft was a fifth-round pick assorted analysts thought might be a coup: Colt Keith of Biloxi (Mississippi) High. Keith was a 6-foot-3, 200-pound, left-handed stick who looked as if he could play a variety of infield spots,
Detroit — Win or lose, it’s a fun brand of baseball the Tigers are playing these days. “It’s exciting, man,” center fielder Derek Hill said after the Tigers completed the three-game sweep of the division-rival Minnesota Twins with a 7-0 win Sunday at Comerica Park. “Everybody on this team is bringing something to the table with the
Detroit — You wished you could’ve eavesdropped on their conversation. There on the field engaged in conversation at Comerica Park Saturday night, long after the Tigers had secured a doubleheader sweep of the Twins with an extra-inning, walk-off single by Miguel Cabrera, were former Tigers pitcher Doug Fister and current Tigers pitcher Tyler Alexander They are
A briefing from Tigers minor-league headquarters, not so much obtained as understood, reveals various issues at work in 2021: ►The Tigers and all of Major League Baseball are adjusting to a historic late start in placing draft picks at minor-league teams and towns. That’s because this year’s draft was a July, rather than June, event.
Detroit – Pretty electric night at the old ballpark Saturday. Maybe the most electric night in a few years. “Let me start by saying thanks to the fans for coming out and creating such a great night,” Tigers manager AJ Hinch said after the Tigers completed a doubleheader sweep of the Twins with a walk-off,
Detroit – The Tigers needed to flip the script any way they could after being swept in a four-game series in Minnesota before the All-Star break. A skinny, 1-0 win in a seven-inning game that lasted one hour and 55 minutes would do just fine. “This was huge,” said lefty reliever Daniel Norris, who got
Detroit – There is no such thing as having too much speed and athleticism — especially if you are talking about defending the spacious outfield at Comerica Park. And with Derek Hill back in the mix, the Tigers’ zone coverage has expanded significantly. But it comes with a heightened emphasis on communication. There have been
Associated Press Toronto — The Toronto Blue Jays were given approval from the Canadian government on Friday for an exemption on border restrictions that would allow them to play in Canada later this month, Canada’s immigration minister said.

We’ll see ya. Well, we’ll hear ya, anyway.

Detroit — The Tigers are not giving up on infielder Willi Castro. Manager AJ Hinch made that point clear Friday morning after the Tigers announced that Castro was being optioned to Triple-A Toledo. “Our best team has Willi involved and has him playing virtually every day,” Hinch said. “We’ve got to get him untracked.” Infielder
Detroit — The goalposts have moved. Whatever the expectations were coming into the season, they are different now. Not exactly lofty, by any means. But bigger. The Tigers, since May 8, posted a 31-27 record leading into the All-Star break. They did that without two of their top starters, without — for the most part —
Based on how COVID messed up 2020’s scouting season, the Tigers might be in line, ironically, for something of a gift from Tuesday’s final 10 rounds of the 20-round Major League Baseball Draft. Players were harder to inspect last spring, summer, and into autumn. There was less data on hand. Fewer exposures allowed for the
By Jake Seiner | Associated Press Mike Trout has helped the Los Angeles Angels score a lot of runs over the years. Preventing them has been a bigger issue. LA’s scouting department is going all out to solve that problem. The Angels became the first club ever to select exclusively pitchers over a full amateur
Detroit — Day 1 brought the drama. Day 2 brought the depth. What’s in store for Day 3? The Tigers, who took high school right-hander Jackson Jobe with the No. 3 overall pick Sunday night, were working early and often Monday. They selected six pitchers and high school shortstop Izaac Pacheco, among others. Monday featured the second
By Ronald Blum | Associated Press Denver — Banning or limiting defensive shifts would be an effort to restore Major League Baseball to how it was played before offense was suffocated by analytics, according to baseball commissioner Rob Manfred.
