When I previewed the 2024 Toledo Mud Hens roster the other day, we still had a couple of key roster questions. Those have mostly been answered as the Mud Hens unveiled their Opening Day roster for the season on Wednesday. They’ll start the 2024 season at home against the Nashville Sounds starting on Friday. The
Hello Bless You Boys community! Here we are, once again, on the cusp of a brand new baseball season, and it seems like the ideal time to re-introduce ourselves to each other. Many of us have been coming to BYB to share our love of the Detroit Tigers (or our frustrations with the team) for
One of my favorite pre-season rituals is the opportunity to make some genuinely wild predictions for the upcoming year. Sometimes the crazier they are, the more often they seem to become reality. We love to do this as a group for our annual roundtable discussion, but I figured it would also be fun to turn
The 2024 season is nearly upon us so it’s time to take a look at perhaps the key member of the Detroit Tigers youthful core. Patrolling left field on most nights will be the 23-year-old left-handed outfielder the Tigers selected with the 5th overall pick in 2019. Ever since he was drafted out of Hagerty

The Tigers have released catcher Donny Sands, tweets Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. He was outrighted off the 40-man roster earlier this winter and will now depart the organization entirely. The 27-year-old Sands was one of three players Detroit acquired in the trade sending Gregory Soto and Kody Clemens to the Phillies. Utilityman Nick Maton and
The Tigers have announced their final roster moves prior to Opening Day. Right-hander Alex Faedo and lefty Joey Wentz will be the final two members of their eight-man bullpen, joining Alex Lange, Jason Foley, Shelby Miller, Andrew Chafin, Tyler Holton, and Will Vest. Right-hander Beau Brieske, despite a fantastic camp, has been optioned to Triple-A
While this is a Toledo Mud Hens preview, it’s of course just a part of the Tigers story this season. We’ve written quite a bit about the prospect depth the Detroit Tigers have at their disposal throughout the offseason. The Tigers should have the pitching to compete, but entering the new season the offense still
Another spring, another opening day coming up for the boys of summer. For those who have been waiting for the return of America’s pastime, the big day is nearly nigh. The Detroit Tigers will begin their 2024 odyssey through the Major League Baseball ranks on Thursday, March 28, in Chicago against the White Sox in
We’ve learned a few things about new Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty this spring. The past 4-5 years he’s been a depth starter looking to recapture his earlier success, but until the Tigers signed him out of the blue, we hadn’t really looked that deeply into his peak years with the Cardinals. We also
With the 2024 season now blessedly just days away, it’s time to look at a player who is perhaps being taken for granted this spring. Kerry Carpenter followed Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene to the major leagues late in 2022, and so far has surpassed them both with a very nice full season debut in
The Royals’ Opening Day roster has begun to come into focus, as the Royals recently optioned first baseman Nick Pratto, outfielder Drew Waters, and catcher Austin Nola to the minor leagues. Those positional cuts from camp helped to clarify the club’s bench mix, as manager Matt Quatraro told reporters (including MLB.com’s Anne Rogers) yesterday that
It seems appropriate to dive into Tigers position player previews with the man who should be leading off the lineup most nights. Center fielder Parker Meadows may be dropped down the lineup against tough lefty starters, but AJ Hinch clearly likes him as a leadoff hitter. With only 37 games of MLB experience, the 24-year-old
The Tigers announced Friday that they’ve optioned right-hander Matt Manning to Triple-A Toledo. That puts an end to the three-horse race for the final two spots in manager AJ Hinch’s rotation. Right-handers Casey Mize and Reese Olson will open the season on the starting staff behind lefty Tarik Skubal and righties Kenta Maeda and Jack
