After selecting right-hander Mason Englert in the MLB phase of the 2022 Rule 5 draft, the Detroit Tigers added another pitcher — right-handed reliever Layne Henderson — from the Houston Astros in the minor-league phase. Henderson, a former 30th-round pick, joins the Tigers after four seasons with the Astros. Unlike the MLB phase, players selected in the
DETROIT — The Tigers’ 2023 home schedule — for which single-game tickets went on sale Friday — includes a three-game series in mid-April against the Giants, whose RBI leader last season was infielder Wilmer Flores. Detroit’s prospect list from MLB Pipeline includes Wilmer Flores, the newly awarded 2022 Tigers Minor League Pitcher of the Year.
Wilmer Flores threw 1,647 pitches last season. The 21-year-old, who slipped through the cracks and signed as an undrafted free agent less than three years ago, advanced to Double-A Erie in May, represented the Detroit Tigers in the All-Star Futures Game in July and carried the SeaWolves into the postseason in September. The right-hander took

If Cubs fans think they hate Jed Hoyer now, just wait until this trade is done with. Just a year-plus after leaving Chicago, could a Javy Baez reunion make sense? Is it likely that the Cubs bring Javy Baez back to the north side of Chicago? No, not right now.
Detroit Tigers prospects Wilmer Flores and Kerry Carpenter were awarded the organization’s minor-league POTY awards Thursday — but the P stands for two different things. Flores, a 21-year-old right handed starter from Venezuela, earned pitcher of the year honors. “When they told me (I won), it felt really good,” Flores told reporters on Thursday. “I
For most Tigers players and fans, the end of the season was a chance to forget a rough year. For Kerry Carpenter, it was a chance to finally pinch himself. Around this time a year ago, Carpenter was arguably fighting for his career. He was headed to St. Louis to see a hitting instructor about

Matthew Boyd is back. The veteran left-hander’s one-year, $10 million contract with the Detroit Tigers became official Wednesday — exactly two weeks after reports surfaced — marking his return to the city he calls his second home.

Jim Callis has broken down the Draft class and now it’s time to see who is going to go where in the first round. With the usual caveat that much will change between now and July, this projection is based on if teams were selecting right now. And I enlisted the assistance of a scouting
