Another day, another player preview about a pitcher the Detroit Tigers scouted from relative obscurity who now has a legit shot at a major league career. Right-hander Brendan White is a dedicated reliever now, but as a 26th rounder in 2019, he certainly fits with the Wilmer Flores, Beau Brieske, Garrett Hill group as a
The Tigers have added veteran reliever Trevor Rosenthal on a minor league deal, the team announced. The deal includes an invite to big league spring training. It’s the second stint in Detroit for Rosenthal, who made ten appearances for the team in 2019. Injuries have kept Rosenthal out of the past two MLB seasons, with
As we’ve learned about Detroit Tigers’ president Scott Harris, he’s not going to stop churning the roster in search of help. Even since spring camp opened he’s signed another handful of relievers on minor league deals, and he added another on Saturday night, inking veteran right-hander Trevor Rosenthal to a minor league deal with an
LAKELAND, Fla. — Spencer Turnbull was walking off the mound at the end of his second and final inning on Saturday, grumbling about the run he allowed, when pitching coach Chris Fetter intercepted him in the dugout. “If you have anything other than the best feelings about today, I’m going to be really mad at
With gorgeous facilities and a location ideal for Tigers fans in the southwestern portion of the state, the West Michigan Whitecaps have cemented themselves as the fan-facing favorite minor league team in Detroit’s system. During the upcoming season, fans can expect more than the usual fun and games atmosphere the ‘Caps staff works hard to
We’ve discussed Beau Brieske in his preview already, but right-hander Garrett Hill is perhaps an even more surprising underdog who could help the Tigers this season. The 27-year-old was drafted by the Tigers back in 2018 all the way down in the 27th round. He was never expected to have much of a pro career,
Less than a week ago, the Detroit Tigers opened up the Grapefruit League calendar against the Philadelphia Phillies. On Friday, a split squad from the Tigers headed to Clearwater to tackle the Phillies on the road and ultimately took them down by a score of 6-3. Action now turns to George Steinbrenner Stadium in Tampa
Step one for Brendan White was getting added to the Tigers 40-man roster this past offseason. Now, the pitching prospect is doing everything he can to get closer to Detroit.
CLEARWATER, Fla. — Eduardo Rodriguez looked for a second like he might be having issues with his belt as the Tigers left-hander felt around his left hip before his first pitch against the Phillies Friday afternoon. Once it became clear he was the latest Tigers pitcher to experiment with the new PitchCom system that lets

LAKELAND, Fla. — Tigers manager A.J. Hinch is looking at multi-inning relievers who can bridge the gap between Detroit’s projected starters — none of whom pitched a full season last year — and a rebuilt back end of the bullpen filled with high-strikeout young arms. So when Brendan White came in from the bullpen to
Last week, we covered the best pure-hitting prospect in each system, noting that it’s almost impossible to be a Major League regular if you can’t hit. Do you know what’s another way to put yourself over the top? Hit the ball hard. Power can make a .250 hitter into a star or, in some cases,
After his first season in the Big Leagues, center fielder Riley Greene is back at camp with his teammates. So we had him mic’d up during practice this spring and can confirm he wasn’t a fan of it.
