Los Angeles — It was April 4, 2021, at Comerica Park. Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo was in the dugout getting ready to make his big-league debut. A Rule 5 draftee who hadn’t played much above A-ball and hadn’t played competitive ball at all since 2019, he was a combustible bundle of nerves and excitement. And,

Everywhere you look these days, the Detroit Tigers seem to be producing pitching talent. The latest breakout this season comes from 25-year-old right-hander Sawyer Gipson-Long. Acquired from the Minnesota Twins at the 2022 trade deadline for reliever Michael Fulmer, Gipson-Long arrived looking like a sixth starter candidate with quality secondary pitches but a mediocre fastball.
The Detroit Tigers kicked off their 10-game west coast road swing with a sweep of the Los Angeles Angels last weekend as the season quickly wanes. AJ Hinch’s squad looked solid in all three wins, though the opponent has now clearly mailed in a season that was expected to feature a playoff appearance. The victories
He was into this professional baseball thing, Kevin McGonigle was. You could tell it from the outset. He showed up in July at Lakeland, Fla., a few weeks after pocketing his high-school diploma, began hitting crisply with the Florida Complex League Tigers (.273/.467/.333/.800), then really showed off during a 12-game audition with the low-Single A

He hit 18 homers in Low-A and High-A in 2017, 17 with Double-A Erie in 2018. In 2021, he brought a 27-degree

ANAHEIM — The last time the Tigers swept a series at Angel Stadium, Alan Trammell was still at shortstop, Kirk Gibson was back with the club after five years away and Mickey Tettleton was beginning his transition away from catcher. It was August of 1993, and the Tigers rode a combination of aging stars and
Jackson Jobe’s debut at Double A, which long has been regarded as the big leagues’ waiting room, went smoothly Sunday in a game his Erie SeaWolves dropped, 1-0, to Richmond at UPMC Park. Jobe was brilliant: six innings, four hits, no runs, no walks, six strikeouts. He threw 76 pitches, 58 for strikes. Jobe’s fastball
The Tigers went for a weekend three-game sweep in Los Angeles — well, really, Anaheim, but are you a geographer, punk? — and they got it with a 5-3 win. It was Detroit’s first road sweep of the Angels in thirty years. It was a day of openers: for the Tigers, Miguel Díaz, and for
Facing Double-A hitters for the first time, Jackson Jobe put together arguably the best start of his pro career so far. Jobe, MLB’s No. 54 prospect, threw 76 pitches — 58 for strikes — and did not allow an extra-base hit. He’d previously gone six innings three times but had never thrown more than five

He’s been one of the most productive hitters in the American League for more than a month and he truly believes he’s not performing at
Impossible to miss for anyone eyeing Triple-A Toledo’s box scores the past few weeks has been the everyday choice at third base: Justyn-Henry Malloy. The Tigers want to know if he can be trusted at third as they get ready for 2024. He could help, for sure. The Tigers need bats, particularly on the infield’s
The Tigers could potentially have a new general manager in place before the end of the season, MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reports via X. It was almost exactly a year ago that Scott Harris was hired as the club’s new president of baseball operations, though the GM role (effectively Harris’ top lieutenant) has remained vacant,
ANAHEIM — Sawyer Gipson-Long described the scene as surreal last weekend after winning his Major League debut in front of friends and family at Comerica Park.
