One of the most renowned notions in Detroit Tigers history comes from the great Sparky Anderson, whose 1984 squad set the record for most wins over the first 40 games in a season while going wire-to-wire to lead the franchise to its first World Series win since 1968. It was that season that inspired the

Detroit — The sights were something to see, no doubt. But it’s the sounds of spring that we’re really missing these days in Detroit. And the calendar is full of reminders. Take May 16, for example. This is the anniversary of that anxious evening back in 1996 when Steve Yzerman nearly blew the roof off

The 2023 Detroit Tigers are playing a very unique style of baseball considering the franchise’s history. For the past two decades, the club’s best seasons offensively have been built around a stable core of elite to above average hitters. At their best, they were six or seven hitters deep with good everyday position players. They
It wasn’t that long ago that Alex Faedo was a bona fide pitching prospect. The No. 18 overall pick in the 2017 draft started as the No. 50 prospect in baseball (according to Baseball America) heading into the 2018 season. But by the time he was called up last week, that label was well-faded, with
Detroit — This is how these things happen. Not with some cataclysmic event. No big bangs, trumpets or fanfare. Just one day, you look up, and it’s here. It’s been here. Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson, if you haven’t noticed, are here. Right smack in the heart of the Tigers’ 8-4 month. Right smack in
The 2023 MLB draft is just under two months away, and with both college baseball and high school baseball winding down, what better time to look at the Detroit Tigers’ best options with the third overall pick than now? Things are going to change over the next few months, but the top five or six
Erie SeaWolves manager Gabe Alvarez couldn’t be happier to see Dillon Dingler walk into the clubhouse in Bowie. It was the spark his team needed after a rough April. Dingler, fresh off rehabilitating from a meniscus injury, has rejuvenated the SeaWolves over the past two weeks. ‘Wolves milestones: 3,000 home runs, 15,000 RBIs and counting.
This is what the Detroit Tigers have been waiting for. Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene, the former first-round draft picks and the most important hitters in the organization, are playing their best baseball at the same time, and the Tigers are winning games as a result of their positive performances. Continued success from both players
Sunday was graduation day at Prospect University. Any player who began the season with zero Major League experience and cracked an Opening Day roster exceeded the 45-day rookie standard on Sunday. That makes this as good a time as any to make some alterations to the MLB Pipeline Top 100 prospect rankings. With Yankees shortstop
Detroit – Permanence, for Tigers’ super utility man Zach McKinstry, has always been an elusive concept. He was 20 years old in 2015 and having himself a fun summer. He’d just finished a very successful freshman season at Central Michigan University and was raking for Waterloo in the Northwoods summer league. Then everything changed. His

DETROIT — Nick Maton’s struggle to hit the breaking ball has been well-chronicled. So maybe it was fitting that the Tigers completed their comeback Sunday when the breaking ball hit him. It’s more ironic than iconic. But when the Tigers needed to avoid a series sweep to the Mariners, a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch is just as

Detroit — You may ask yourself, why did Tigers’ manager AJ Hinch throw scuffling Nick Maton back in the five-hole in his lineup Sunday? He’s hitting .157 on the season and in 10 games this month was 3 for 26 with nine strikeouts. Hitting fifth? Hinch’s answer to that question turned into a enlightening dissertation
