We all love to recall the most epic moments of our chosen team’s season. It can be easy to recall an incredible robbed home run, a pinch-hit home run, or those incredibly clutch moments that you’re only going to remember if you watch most games during a season. But what about other teams? Sometimes we
The Tigers have re-signed right-hander Wilmer Flores and infielder/outfielder Eddys Leonard to minor league deals, reports Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Flores will make $1MM if he is in the majors while Leonard would get the $760K league minimum. Neither player has any major league experience but both were on the Tigers’ 40-man roster
Right-hander Wilmer Flores and infielder Eddys Leonard were both Top 30 prospects in the Tigers’ system earlier this year who might have joined the many other prospects to debut in Detroit in 2024 if not for injuries. Both were designated for assignment and became free agents last month to open spots on Detroit’s 40-man roster.
The Winter Meetings begin Sunday in Dallas, and prospects will certainly be on some teams’ shopping lists. Who will get the best holiday-season deal, and which clubs have the juice to make that kind of deal happen?

On Sunday, MLB Pipeline named shortstop Kevin McGonigle and starting pitcher Jaden Hamm as the Detroit Tigers’ Prospects of the Year. Both had outstanding breakout campaigns in their first full seasons of pro ball. They’re very worthy selections. Even better from the Tigers’ perspective, there are very good arguments for a whole handful of other
Welcome to December everyone! Last week was a lighter week with Thanksgiving, so a lot of sites were taking time off reporting for a few days, but we’ve still got a few items to catch up on, so we’ll touch on all the highlights. Ohtani Demands Return of Cards Shohei Ohtani hasn’t spoken out much
A year ago, we provided one Rookie of the Year candidate for every team. How’d we do? We nailed the NL top rookie (Paul Skenes) and also picked out two others who received votes (Jackson Chourio and Mason Miller). That’s a good enough success rate to try the whole exercise again. We discussed who we
The Detroit Tigers need reinforcements for their starting rotation. Long-time Los Angeles Dodgers ace Walker Buehler is looking for a team to help him get back to form and earn the big free agent deal he was denied by injury. While Buehler has had more success in his career to date, it’s not a dissimilar

There’s nothing quite like hot stove season, where the rumors are running wild and it’s very up in the air what teams will look like next year. While the Tigers seem to be heavily focused on building up young talent rather than signing expensive veterans, there are certainly places that the team could help themselves
