Seattle — Maybe more than just a season of abject misfortune and calamity came to an inglorious end Wednesday when the Tigers closed out 2022 with a 5-4 loss the Seattle Mariners. “It definitely feels a little bit like an end of an era,” said catcher Eric Haase. It certainly does. Since 2002, the Tigers

Seattle — On the penultimate day of a long and mostly frustrating season, the Tigers played two long and mostly frustrating baseball games against the playoff-bound Seattle Mariners Tuesday at T-Mobile Park. In the first game they were beaten 7-6 in 10 innings, losing two late leads and failing to do enough damage against a
Seattle – Spencer Torkelson walked through the clubhouse Tuesday morning carrying a well-worn bat. He was heading toward the batting cage. This was hours before the Tigers would get fail to take advantage of a catcher pitching in the 10th inning and get walked off by the Mariners 7-6 in the first game of a
Seattle — It had to be heartening for lefty Tarik Skubal to watch his mentor and former teammate Matthew Boyd pitch Monday night. Not so much because Boyd dominated Tigers hitters for three scoreless innings, punching out five. But it must’ve been encouraging to see how sharp he was 15 months after he went through
Seattle — Collectively, the 2022 season has been a failure. That’s an unassailable truth. A Tigers team that was expected to at least stay near enough to .500 to keep things intriguing in the final months was wracked by injury and underperformance and fell out of contention before the summer even got hot. But it
Seattle — Javier Báez talks a lot about focus. When he’s able to stay focused in an at-bat, he says, he can usually find a way to do damage. Turns out, he can do damage when he’s unfocused, too. Just like he did in the third inning of the Tigers’ 4-3 win over the playoff-bound
Two weeks ago, the Tigers unveiled their new front-office boss, Scott Harris, a bright-light young man charged with sculpting Detroit’s MLB roster into a playoff-grade art piece. Twelve days later, the Tigers announced Miguel Cabrera, six months from 40, and long removed from a time when his Hall of Fame bat was dynamic, would return
Seattle — The conversation was just about over when Matthew Boyd just casually, apropos of nothing, “You guys are going to love Scott.” Huh? Oh, that’s right. Tigers’ new president of baseball operations Scott Harris was the man who signed Boyd, whom the Tigers non-tendered and released after the 2021 season, to a $5.5 million
By Sara Tidwell | Special to The Detroit News Detroit — The Tigers closed out the home portion of their 2022 schedule on Sunday, hosting the Minnesota Twins, and designated hitter Miguel Cabrera hit yet another career milestone. Cabrera was back in the starting lineup at designated hitter after not appearing in Saturday’s game. It was
Sara Tidwell | Special to The Detroit News Detroit – The Detroit Tigers defeated the Minnesota Twins on Sunday, 5-2, marking back-to-back victories in the weekend series and a victory for their final home game of the 2022 season. The Twins had halted the Tigers six-game win-streak short on Friday, 7-0, but the Tigers were able
By Sara Tidwell | Special to The Detroit News Detroit – The Detroit Tigers (64-93) are closing out their 2022 season at home Sunday, hosting the Minnesota Twins (77-81), and designated hitter Miguel Cabrera is poised to hit another career milestone. Cabrera is back in the starting lineup Sunday after not appearing in Saturday’s game. This
Detroit – This one was a little gnarly — some mental gaffes and misplays — but it didn’t lack for intensity or entertainment value. The Tigers escaped a bases-loaded, one-out mess in the eighth inning, got three-hits and a home run from catcher Eric Haase and a rare save from lefty set-up reliever Andrew Chafin
Detroit – This one was a little gnarly. A single being played into a triple. A missed cut-off man resulting in two free bases. A runner getting picked off second base with the bases loaded. A poorly-timed wild pitch. Video from this will not be sent to Cooperstown. But in the penultimate game of the
Detroit — It was one of those stories where the presumption wasn’t the reality. It happens a lot these days. Something that’s chopped up on social media and talk radio gets taken as fact. The fact is, Miguel Cabrera has one year and $32 million left on his contract with the Tigers. He said in
Detroit — At least Tigers manager AJ Hinch kept his sense of humor after such a dreadful performance. After the Minnesota Twins stopped the Tigers’ six-game winning streak with a 7-0 win at Comerica Park Friday, he was asked about infielder Kody Clemens making his seventh pitching appearance of the season. “Can we call him
Detroit — Before the game Friday, 25-year-old rookie utility player Brendon Davis had one eye on the clock as he talked to a group of reporters. “I have to get to a meeting,” he said. A couple lockers to his left, another 25-year-old utility player, Willi Castro, was starting to pack up his gear. This
Detroit — AJ Hinch has been thinking about moving Akil Baddoo into the leadoff spot for a while now. But he wanted him to earn the privilege, which he certainly did hitting .300 with a .400 on-base average the last two weeks. Baddoo then validated the strategy Thursday afternoon, triggering a four-run fifth inning that

Detroit — Question: How much does or should a player’s offensive production play into his Gold Glove candidacy? The answer probably should be little to not at all, but we all know that’s not been the case over the years. Brian Dozier was a minus-1 in defensive runs saved when he won the Gold Glove
Detroit – Everything seemed normal. Matt Manning completed his pregame warmup and bullpen session Wednesday night ahead of his scheduled start against the Royals. He walked back into the dugout surrounded by catcher Eric Haase and pitching coach Chris Fetter and slapped hands with the bullpen pitchers as they crossed paths. Just like always. Then,
