DETROIT — Curtis Granderson’s playing career in Detroit was spent making highlight-reel-worthy robberies in the outfield and spraying triples all over Comerica Park. His first post-retirement trip to the city involved wondering how many more homers he’d have if he’d had the opportunity to play here after the fences were moved in. Granderson — a

DETROIT — The way Tigers manager A.J. Hinch talked about Matt Manning on Saturday afternoon at Comerica Park, it was almost like Hinch was looking into the future. “On the baseball field, I think, when you have a pretty good idea where the ball’s going, you have a pretty good idea of what you’re supposed

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – Three baseball lifers, each closely intertwined with a proud franchise and a passionate fan base, received career awards from the Baseball Hall of Fame on Saturday. Though few threads directly connect Pat Hughes, John Lowe and Carl Erskine with one another, all three share a deep love for the sport and a

DETROIT — While Juan Soto’s bat certainly hurt the Tigers on Friday night, Detroit’s 5-4 loss to the Padres at Comerica Park was actually a lot more about little things gone wrong than it was mammoth hits.

DETROIT — Max Clark worked the room on Friday like he’d always been in it. A handshake here, a fistbump there and smiles all around. He held court with the vets in foul territory and joked with a legend. He did TV interviews and print interviews and participated in an on-field photo shoot with his

The two questions I get the most these days are: Are you recovered from the Draft yet? (No.) When will MLB Pipeline update the Top 100 Prospects list and the team Top 30s? (Early August, soon after the Trade Deadline.) Which 2023 Draft picks immediately become their team’s No. 1 prospect once they sign?— J.P.

The 2014 Chicago Cubs were not a very good baseball team. They finished 73-89, last place in the National League Central. There are all sorts of unmemorable players who got many at-bats for that team, from Arismendy Alcantara to Junior Lake to Justin Ruggiano. There aren’t many Cubs fans who look back at 2014 and

KANSAS CITY — Michael Lorenzen was a portrait of frustration three weeks ago after a five-run second inning led to a loss in Colorado. “I thought I had really good stuff, but really good stuff and not getting results isn’t good enough,” Lorenzen said that day. “So I have to figure out how to get results.

KANSAS CITY — Eduardo Rodriguez was an Orioles prospect at Double-A Bowie in July 2014, doing his between-starts work one afternoon, when then-Baysox manager Gary Kendall called him into his office. “Back then, I didn’t really know what a trade was,” Rodriguez recalled. “I didn’t really know anything.
