Former Division II baseball player Richard Schenck, the self-taught personal hitting coach for Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter, was sitting on his porch in April 2018 in Missouri when he received a phone call from Manny Ramirez, a 12-time MLB All-Star who played 19 seasons. Ramirez, a two-time World Series champion, wanted to discuss Schenck’s
If the Red Sox surprise baseball and trade Rafael Devers, a potential dark horse destination could be the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers took a rather obvious step back last season, and hired a new president of baseball operations as a result in Scott Harris. Al Avila took the fall, but Detroit still has a roster…
The Tigers have acquired infielder Tyler Nevin from the Orioles, in a deal announced by both teams. Baltimore will receive cash considerations for Nevin, who was designated for assignment earlier this week.

Nevin, 25, joins the 40-man roster. To make room, left-hander Zach Louge was designated for
The Detroit Tigers are ringing in the new year with a trade. The Tigers on Saturday night announced they’ve acquired infielder Tyler Nevin from the Baltimore Orioles for cash considerations. Nevin, 25, split time last season between Baltimore and Triple-A Norfolk. In 58 games with the Orioles, Nevin hit .197 in 157 at-bats, with two
It’s a tough time to be a Detroit sports fan. Much like the midtown and downtown areas of the city, the professional teams are going through their respective renaissance rebuilds — and, well, waiting for that feels like waiting for the road construction on I-75 and I-275 to finish. As we get ready to turn
The 2022 season was an exciting one for Major League debuts. Twelve Top 100 prospects began the campaign on Opening Day rosters, including three of the top five in Bobby Witt Jr., Julio Rodríguez and Spencer Torkelson. Others who followed in their footsteps with later bows — like National League Rookie of the Year Michael
This is the time of year when every writer crawls out of the woodwork to offer up year-end summaries of how their team’s season went. 2022 was an interesting year for the continually rebuilding Tigers franchise (read as, incredibly disappointing and tiring), as well as an interesting (read as, surprisingly decent) year in cinema. Having

The new year is upon us, but before the 2023 preparations begin in earnest at Spring Training, the Tigers still have questions to address, both on the field and
As we near the end of the calendar year, it’s a pertinent time to ask a very important question: Which player from each team is the most likely to have a breakout season in 2023? We asked MLB.com writers just that, and here’s what they had to say: Blue Jays: OF Daulton VarshoVarsho lands in
Kervin Castro appeared ready for the big leagues in 2021. He came out of the bullpen for the San Francisco Giants that September and tossed 13⅓ scoreless innings (one unearned run) to finish the regular season. The right-hander limited walks and capitalized on strikeout opportunities. The Detroit Tigers recently signed Castro, who turns 24 in
Detroit — Tigers president Scott Harris has seen the best and worst of right-handed reliever Kervin Castro, who he’s bringing to Detroit on a minor-league deal. Castro, a native Venezuelan who turns 24 on Feb. 7, made his big-league debut while Harris was with the Giants in 2021. He didn’t allow an earned run in
The Tigers have added right-handed reliever Kervin Castro on a minor league deal, according to his MLB transaction log. Castro, 23, split time between the Cubs and Giants in 2022, tossing 12 1/3 innings of 10.22 ERA ball while striking out batters at a 19.3% clip against a 12.3% walk rate. It was a disappointing
Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris looked — at least on Zoom — like a happy boss as he discussed the signing of right-hander Michael Lorenzen. It’s the type of signing Harris thrived on as Giants general manager, bringing in an undervalued starter with rebound potential on a short-term contract and then helping the
They say that one man’s trash is another’s treasure, and Detroit Tigers president Scott Harris seems to be taking that phrase to heart. On Friday, the Tigers claimed left-handed pitcher Zach Logue off waivers just a day after the Oakland Athletics designated him for assignment. Let’s be clear, I’m not calling Logue trash, but rather

Left-hander Zach Logue wasn’t sharp as a rookie for the Oakland Athletics last season, but in two starts against the Detroit Tigers, the 26-year-old dominated MLB’s worst offense. Those two matchups consisted of seven scoreless innings with six strikeouts May 11 at Comerica Park and six innings of three-run (one unearned) ball with four strikeouts
Detroit — If you can’t beat him, claim him off waivers. That’s what the Tigers have done, claiming left-handed starting pitcher Zach Logue off waivers from the Oakland Athletics on Friday. Logue’s two best starts last season, his rookie season, were against the Tigers. He pitched seven scoreless innings with six strikeouts at Comerica Park
The Tigers announced they have claimed left-hander Zach Logue off waivers from the A’s. Oakland had designated Logue for assignment earlier in the week.
