We break down Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki with help from Marquee Sports Network player development analyst Lance Brozdowski, who explains Sasaki’s pitch mix and reveals if the Tigers have a chance to sign him. After that,
It doesn’t take a long look at this offseason’s MLB free agent list to realize that making major upgrades in the Detroit Tigers’ offense via free agents won’t be too easy.

Happy Monday, all. The past week has seen some interesting news, so we’ll touch in some of the bigger stories of the week. Spoiler alert: no one has signed Juan Soto, but there is a new suitor on the block. The Rays have found their new home for 2025, but does it come at the

This off-season, while we wait for some action from the front office, let’s remove a bit of the baseball doldrums by talking about some of the many baseball movies out there. I’ve been reviewing movies for a few years now for my friends and thought this could be fun, so come along with me and
While we’re big fans of both Josue Briceño and Thayron Liranzo, the Tigers prospects’ hot start in Arizona Fall League play needed to be undersold in the early going. When last we updated their work on October 19, the Fall League was little more than a week old. Briceño already had five home runs in
In the least surprising news of the season, the Baseball Writers’ Association of American named Detroit Tigers ace left-hander Tarik Skubal as one of three finalists for the American League Cy Young award for 2024 on Monday. He is widely considered a lock to take the award over fellow finalists Seth Lugo, starter for the
The general manager meetings took place last week in San Antoino, giving Evan and Mark plenty of topics to discuss. Evan recaps what he learned about the Detroit Tigers at the GM meetings, including an update on free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman. If not Bregman, should the Tigers trade for Miami Marlins slugger Jake Burger?
Welcome back to The Week That Was. Even tough we’re in the offseason it was still a busy week. Aaron Boone got to keep his job, the Marlins found a manager, Shohei Ohtani underwent surgery, and a bunch of New Yorkers are flying to California to make pitches to Juan Soto. So let’s just jump
