The Detroit Tigers took their first pitcher with their first pick Monday of Day 2 of the MLB Draft. The Tigers selected Paul Wilson, a left-hander out of Lakeridge High School in Oregon, in the third round, No. 76 overall. Wilson, a 6-foot-3, 205-pounder, is the first pitcher selected by the Tigers, who on Sunday

Tony Paul and Lynn Henning discuss Scott Harris’ early draft picks with the Tigers, including the first-round selection of outfielder Max Clark. In the second round, Detroit drafted shortstop Kevin McGonigle and second baseman Max Anderson. Here are highlights from The Detroit News/Tigers Today podcast: :45: Breaking down the first round 6:30: Max Clark ‘not

You might say the Tigers went to the Max during Sunday’s first stage of the 2023 MLB Draft in a bid to add bats to a system long-famished for offense. Max Clark was the Tigers’ first pick as they latched onto a potential game-breaking talent who can hit, run, and defend with aplomb. Max Anderson,

Hit first, ask questions later. As draft strategies go, it’s one that’s certainly worth a shot in Detroit. And as team president Scott Harris paused to assess Day 1 of his first draft in charge of the Tigers’ baseball operation, he harkened back to one of his answers at that introductory press conference at Comerica

The 2023 Major League Baseball Draft kicked off Sunday night in Seattle, with Detroit selecting No. 3 overall. The Tigers also had the No. 37 and No. 45 overall picks Sunday. Pittsburgh picked No. 1, and Washington went No. 2. Here’s a recap of all the first- and second-round action from News sports writer Tony

George Lombard was plenty interested in the Tigers’ first-round pick, but forgive him if his attention was divided. George Lombard Jr., the son of the Tigers’ bench coach, was taken No. 26 overall by the New York Yankees on Sunday. Lombard Jr. is a high-school shortstop from Florida. Harold Reynolds, MLB Network analyst, compared him

The Tigers seized on Indiana prep outfielder and left-handed slasher, Max Clark, whose skills and speed proved too much for Detroit to resist with the third-overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. Clark is a rare talent — a legitimate five-tool phenom, 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, who can hit for average and for power, who has

Saturday’s box score implied that Dillon Dingler had taken it on the chin, 0-for-3, in Double-A Erie’s loss, 4-2, at Altoona. Erie manager Gabe Alvarez said the box score was fibbing. “He didn’t have anything to show for it,” Alvarez said Sunday morning as the SeaWolves gathered to close out a six-game series against the

An exceptional MLB Draft, deeper in talent than has been seen in years, is poised to deliver the Tigers an extraordinary player when Detroit chooses at the third-overall slot. Three players who would head nearly any other year’s MLB Draft are bunched in a tense race to see who lands first with the Pirates when

Detroit – He knew he was going to get booed. He was probably booing himself. But he also knew he had to do what he did. Right-hander Matt Manning walked Cavan Biggio with two outs in the seventh inning. In just his third start after missing more than two months with a broken bone in

Detroit – At this time last year, right-hander Beau Brieske seemed on his way to cementing himself into the Tigers’ starting rotation plans. He’d just shutout the White Sox over 6.1 innings, in the middle of a run of three straight quality starts where he allowed just six earned runs and held opposing hitters to

Detroit – The corner of the Tigers’ clubhouse where Jonathan Schoop typically held court, usually with his locker neighbor Miguel Cabrera, was completely cleared out by the time the media was admitted Saturday morning. No name plate. No pants, jerseys or practice gear. No shoes, spikes or gloves. Four seasons of occupancy gone in a

Detroit – After the 12-2 loss to the Blue Jays Friday night, the Tigers informed veteran infielder Jonathan Schoop that he would be designated for assignment Saturday. Manager AJ Hinch and president Scott Harris delivered the news. The move will clear a roster spot for center fielder Riley Greene, who will be activated off the

Detroit – Alex Faedo, out since June 3 with a finger injury, returned to the Tigers’ rotation Friday night. It didn’t go well. The hard-hitting Toronto Blue Jays tagged him for six runs in the fourth inning and rode that to a 12-2 romp in front of a heavily Blue Jays-flavored crowd of 30,029 at

Detroit — Matt Manning, Tarik Skubal, Eduardo Rodriguez and Alex Faedo are back. They are healed and, for now, back in the Tigers’ starting rotation along with Michael Lorenzen and Reese Olson. All good things. But now what? For most of June the Tigers operated with no more than four starters, using planned bullpen games

The MLB Draft starts Sunday night, and runs through Tuesday, with 20 rounds total. Detroit — When it comes to the 2023 Major League Baseball Draft, the Tigers appear to be a bit of a wild card — or, at least as much of a wild card a team can be holding the No. 3

Detroit — Jake Marisnick has played for eight different teams. He’s been traded four times and released four times. At age 32 and in his 11th season, he found himself toiling in Triple A for the White Sox earlier this season before the Tigers’ purchased his contract on May 30. He’s been through some stuff.

Detroit — That’s a little more like it. The Tigers flushed away a couple of frustrating losses to the woebegone Oakland Athletics with a thorough 9-0 romp in the series finale Thursday afternoon. After being held scoreless through the first 17 innings by Oakland pitching, the Tigers vented against lefty Hogan Harris, pounding out eight

Detroit — Kerry Carpenter was back in the starting lineup Thursday. His relative absence from it in the first two games against the Athletics incited some consternation among a segment of Tigers Nation. That consternation was heard by manager AJ Hinch. “I know that’s been a hot topic,” he said. “I’ve heard everything, from the

Detroit — Sometimes, you watch young players in the early stages of their development and try to envision what the finished product might look like. What, for example, is the ultimate best version of Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling? Already, at age 26 and in his first full season as a mostly everyday player, he’s showing
