Detroit — The Tigers clubhouse remained closed for at least 30 minutes after the game Wednesday. After being swept at home by a depleted White Sox squad, losing the finale in humiliating fashion 13-0, having to use three position players to cover the final three innings on the mound, it was time to clear the air.

Last July, Al Avila declared the Detroit Tigers were “not rebuilding anymore,” and the 2021 MLB trade Deadline passed with just one move — a trade of left-hander Daniel Norris to Milwaukee for pitching prospect Reese Olson — from the general manager and his front office, facing “no pressure” to sell off assets. However, as Avila’s remarks near their one-year anniversary and the
It has been a frustrating, ugly season for the Detroit Tigers. There have been a crazy number of injuries, a sleep-walking pathetic offense, a long list of underperforming players, painful losing streaks and sloppy losses. It reached a new low on Wednesday — at least in terms of embarrassment and futility — when the Tigers literally gave

Lakeland, Fla. — In the spring of 2009, at the grizzled age of 17, Avisail Garcia was playing right field in Single-A games for the Tigers. It was impressive, imposing, status for an adolescent. It also was part of ancient history, as it were, for the Tigers and for MLB teams that had seen Venezuela as

Lakeland, Fla. — Tom Moore holds his right hand high (figuratively) and testifies to what he believes is truth about the Tigers’ youngest cast of Latin American talent. “We feel we have the best collection of international players we’ve had,” said Moore, who directs international operations and scouting for the Tigers. “I will say, just looking from
Detroit — There are 100 games remaining in the regular season, Tigers fans. That’s not a threat. Just a fact. But so is this, after AJ Hinch’s team reached another low-water mark Wednesday with an embarrassing 13-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox: It’s a salvage operation now. That’s all you can say after the
The Detroit Tigers hit a new low in Wednesday’s 13-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox. An embarrassing performance, highlighted by three position players pitching, led to a 30-minute players-only meeting in the clubhouse. “Just a broad range of issues that we feel like we’re facing as a team,” catcher Eric Haase said. “Kinda getting it in
DETROIT — The doors to the Tigers’ clubhouse were closed for about a half-hour after Wednesday’s 13-0 loss to the White Sox. As fun as it might have been for baseball fans to watch three position players pitch the final three innings, it was anything but fun in the clubhouse afterward. “It’s obviously frustrating, playing
DETROIT – The Detroit Tigers are proud to host the 20th annual Negro Leagues Weekend, presented by Comerica Bank, from June 17-19, when the Texas Rangers visit Comerica Park.

The Detroit Tigers are more than two months into the 2022 season. They aren’t getting any better. The offense remains a disaster, averaging 2.71 runs per game, and Chris Fetter’s unexpectedly sturdy pitching staff is beginning to fall apart amid several injuries to the starting rotation. “Our pitching was kind of the only thing keeping us afloat,” catcher Eric Haase
DETROIT — Two weeks after Kody Clemens followed in his father’s footsteps by reaching the Major Leagues, he has now followed his Cy Young-winning father to the mound. The Tigers infielder became a pitcher for an inning, tossing a one-run eighth in Wednesday’s 13-0 loss to the White Sox at Comerica Park. Perhaps prophetically, Tigers
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch lost two assistant coaches to head coaching jobs at their alma maters last season: third base coach Chip Hale to Arizona and assistant hitting coach Jose Cruz Jr. to Rice. A third assistant, pitching coach Chris Fetter, could be the top candidate to take over as Michigan’s head coach, after longtime head coach Erik
At his best, Javy Baez is one of the premier shortstops in baseball. So far this season, he’s at a career worst. The pressure is on the Tigers star to turn things around. Baez was Detroit’s biggest free-agent acquisition in a season in which they were a fringe preseason playoff pick. That, quite clearly, has…
Detroit — One of the truly remarkable traits of Tigers manager AJ Hinch is his ability to face each day with renewed vigor and belief. Even on a steamy morning like Wednesday, with only a fast, fitful, few hours of sleep after another agonizing loss the night before. He sat in the dugout with the assembled

Lakeland, Fla. — Inspect the Tigers’ run-starved, victory-thin roster in June of 2022 and it puzzles why so few international names, signed originally by Detroit, now play for manager AJ Hinch’s crew. There are two: Gregory Soto, who is the team’s closer. Harold Castro, who is more a backup than starter. The Tigers own the worst offense
