As a catcher, Dillon Dingler’s prospect “scoresheet” includes a few boxes most other position players don’t need to concern themselves with. That can mean for a slower trajectory toward his big league dreams, but for now, Dingler continues to check all the boxes that put him on track to make an impact in Detroit in
The Angels made moves at the Trade Deadline to try to reshape their farm system, and the biggest of those added a new top prospect to the organization in catcher Logan O’Hoppe, acquired from the Phillies. The Halos have another impressive prospect down the chain in that position, though, in backstop Edgar Quero. Making a

Detroit — You never want to overreact to one bad performance. Especially with closers. The margin for error is magnified, obviously, because the game is on the line every time they throw a pitch. They are human, after all, and humans are imperfect. Before Gregory Soto’s five-run implosion in the ninth inning Sunday, he’d allowed just one earned
Death, taxes, and Detroit Tigers fans bashing on the team’s closer: life’s three guarantees. Gregory Soto came on in the top of the 9th inning in a scoreless tie in yesterday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He gave up two jam-shot bloopers to put runners on second and third with two outs. Then the…

There were so many questions heading into this year’s Trade Deadline on Aug. 2. Many of them were answered, including the biggest: Where would superstar outfielder Juan Soto end up?

Detroit — Sometimes he will smile, nod his head and just walk away. Other times he will say, “Not right now, I have to get ready,” or, “Not right now, I have to eat.” He’s never brusque or rude.

In terms of celebrity, it wasn’t much of a trade Tuesday — for Tigers followers. Michael Fulmer was gone — to the Twins ahead of the summer 2022 trade deadline.
