Sloppy play has been the Detroit Tigers‘ identity since the All-Star break. The Tigers capitalized on a pair of errors from Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz in the bottom of the third inning Thursday, but in the top of the next inning, two miscues from the Tigers’ defense put them back in the
The Tigers fell 6-2 in game one of a four-game set from Comerica Park with a generally lackluster effort from the home team. Drew Hutchison got out to a solid start in this one. He issued a leadoff walk to Yandy Diaz, and was fortunate that a Brandon Lowe drive to center was hauled in

Understanding what was happening, the 20-year MLB veteran — a lock for the Baseball Hall
DETROIT — A storybook career that was scripted to end in 2023 with a grand farewell tour across MLB now has many wondering if it might come to a close this season, as the Tigers are actively taking steps to reduce Miguel Cabrera’s workload. Cabrera has recently admitted that the chronic pain in his right
Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera is one of, if not the, most fearsome right-handed hitters of this generation, that is not up for debate. Sure, Albert Pujols deserves a mention in the conversation but nobody has been a more complete hitter than Miggy in the past 20 years or so.
Detroit — For the first time, aging Detroit Tigers legend Miguel Cabrera just doesn’t know.

Martinez, with Justin Verlander departing in August, as well as other key pieces in Justin Upton, Justin Wilson and Alex Avila. But looking back,
In another lost season, it feels a bit precious to say the Tigers have had a rough week, but it’s hard to describe it any other way. The trade deadline passed with just a whimper of defeat from the front office. Tarik Skubal wisely chose to inform the team that his arm was feeling excessive

The 2022 MLB Trade Deadline passed on Tuesday with a definitive whimper for the Detroit Tigers. Small predictable moves were made with unimpressive returns.

Less than an hour before the trade deadline passed the Detroit Tigers traded Michael Fulmer to the Minnesota Twins for RHP Sawyer Gipson-Long. There were no long plane rides for Fulmer, all he had to do was walk across the field. At the time of the trade, it seemed like an underwhelming return. The Tigers
MINNEAPOLIS — Michael Fulmer sat on the couch inside the Detroit Tigers‘ clubhouse Tuesday and couldn’t help but check his phone for the latest trade rumors.
