The simple word “talent” is used too sparingly in sports. Instead, coaches and scouts and scientists of movement toss around phrases such as “wiggle” and “quick twitch” to describe our nimblest and most explosive athletes. “Hand-eye coordination” is another one. And oh, what a dream it would be simply to be able to hit the

Most of your big trophies handed out in the offseason are, by definition, individual trophies: MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, even Manager of the Year. But if you ever go visit a team museum, you’ll see plenty of those trophies on display. When the player wins an award, in a way, the team
DETROIT — Matt Manning needed to strand a runner on third and keep the Tigers in a scoreless game, hoping they could muster a base hit off Giants starter Logan Webb. He went at LaMonte Wade Jr. like he was pitching with a six-run lead — three fastballs in the zone at 95+ miles per
San Francisco Giants right-hander Logan Webb entered the fifth inning with a no-hitter intact. He exited with two outs and six earned runs. The Detroit Tigers loaded the bases with one out; with two outs, they rattled off three straight singles to chase Webb. A two-run double from Willi Castro off lefty reliever Thomas Szapucki
The Detroit Tigers released their 2023 schedule Wednesday, beginning with Opening Day on March 30 against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, roughly 60 miles from the Tigers’ spring training hub in Lakeland. The Tigers play their first six games on the road, competing in a three-game series with the
Detroit — Turns out, it was just a matter of breaking the seal. Giants right-hander Logan Webb was cruising along, holding the Tigers hitless for 4.1 innings. Then Jeimer Candelario, hitting under .200, decided enough was enough. With the defense shifted to the right side of the infield, Candelario made a decided effort to inside-out his swing
Detroit Tigers utility player Willi Castro doesn’t always take the best routes in the outfield, and he remains somewhat of a newbie to the most spacious part of the ballpark, but he knows what his arm is capable of in the outfield. “Five, six,” Castro said. “Around there.” The 25-year-old, who first played outfield in
Detroit — The Tigers have never made it a point of emphasis, at least not until recently, to build their roster to fit the spacious confines of Comerica Park. If a player’s skill set happened to be a good fit — gap power, speed — it was usually a happy accident. Victor Reyes is one
By Ronald Blum | Associated Press New York — Every major league team will play each other in the same season for the first time next year as the sport switches to its first balanced schedule since 2000. As a result of the format switch agreed to in the March lockout settlement, high-profile games between division rivals such
The 2023 schedule released by Major League Baseball on Wednesday might look the same in some ways. There are still 162 games per team, spread from spring to fall, with a brief pause for the All-Star break, and October, as always, the goal. But make no mistake: The new, more balanced 2023 schedule, which will

Major League Baseball released its 2023 schedule on Wednesday and the Detroit Tigers will open the season on March 30 at Tampa Bay. After three games against the Rays, the Tigers will stay on the road with a three-game series against the Houston Astros before hosting the Boston Red Sox in the home opener on April 6
Detroit — September is lurking. Teams can add two players to their active roster: a pitcher and a position player. Among the questions being debated among Tigers manager AJ Hinch and his staff is whether first baseman Spencer Torkelson would be best served finishing the year in the big leagues or continuing to work through his issues at Triple-A
The White Sox placed starter Michael Kopech on the 15-day injured list this afternoon due to a left knee strain. The righty seemed to suffer the injury during warm-ups before yesterday’s start against the Royals, and his velocity was well down during the outing. Kopech didn’t record an out, allowing two hits, a walk and a hit
DETROIT — The locker that Daniel Norris currently uses at Comerica Park is one down from the spot he held for years. The pour-over coffee maker that made him a popular member of the pitching staff is believed to be in storage somewhere in the ballpark, but no one has dug it out. All around
Detroit — Maybe the Giants, playing in National League and on the West Coast, hadn’t got the memo about Willi Castro’s throwing arm. If not, he delivered it in person Tuesday night. In the fifth inning of the Tigers’ 3-1 loss to the Giants at Comerica Park, Mike Yastrzemski tagged and tried to advance to second base

A two-out walk proved costly for left-handed reliever Daniel Norris in the sixth inning, especially with the Detroit Tigers‘ anemic offense facing one of the best pitchers in baseball amid a brilliant performance. After the walk, San Francisco Giants veteran Evan Longoria blasted a slider that stayed in the strike zone for a two-run home run.
Detroit — While we are busy adding things to the new general manager’s to-do list, even though there remains no timetable to the actual hiring of a new GM — he or she can thank us later — the Tigers this offseason will be facing some potentially thorny questions regarding which prospects to protect from the Rule 5
