The Tigers groundbreaking in-season documentary series will return for 2022, providing inside access and a fresh perspective on the moments that matter at Comerica Park throughout the season.
And so we’re back for year three of this hopeless experiment, the Free Press’ attempt to predict the Detroit Tigers‘ full-season record, based on series-by-series projections. (We also did a half-season prediction for the end of 2019, but just like the rest of that season, we’re doing our best to forget it.) In year one —
Opening Day at Comerica Park is a big event in downtown Detroit, whether you go to the game or not. And this year’s festivities, as the Detroit Tigers take on the Chicago White Sox at 1:10 p.m. at Comerica Park, may feel more like a normal Opening Day. The onset of the coronavirus pandemic postponed the
The Detroit Tigers are ready to start the 2022 season. The 28-man roster includes five starting pitchers, 10 relievers, three catchers, six infielders and four outfielders. Opening Day is 1:10 p.m. Friday against the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park.

Spencer Torkelson is a Detroit Tiger. That sentence was exciting enough when he was drafted, but now it’s real. The man called Tork is debuting for the Detroit Tigers on Opening Day. The future is here. The last time there was this much excitement around a debut there was a trio of top prospects who
If you ask some people what the most festive day of the year is, they may pick a holiday like Christmas, Halloween, or the Fourth of July. If you pose the same question to ardent baseball fans, Opening Day may be the only answer you get, especially if their favorite team is the Detroit Tigers.

Well, that was an offseason, even with the 99-day lockout smack in the middle. The Atlanta Braves won their first World Series since 1995 back in November, and then there was a spending frenzy, in which one team <ahem, hello, Texas Rangers> dropped more than $560 million, the Tigers wrote checks for more than $200
TOLEDO, OH.: Ryan Kreidler slammed two long solo home runs to lead the way offensively for the Toledo Mud Hens, but the Rochester Red Wings scored multiple runs in the third and seventh stanzas to snag a 6-3 victory on Wednesday evening at Fifth Third Field.

Jim Harbaugh and Alex Rodriguez, BFFs? We’re not saying the Michigan football coach (who has been known to take in a ballgame with glove on hand) and the retired Mariners, Rangers and Yankees slugger will be hanging out any time soon, but they appear to be united in their love of the school in Ann
Miguel Cabrera hugged Spencer Torkelson as part of a big announcement at the end of Spring Training. He might as well have passed a torch in the process. Detroit’s top prospect hit .280/.406/.440 over 12 games this spring as of late Saturday, exhibiting a good approach and contact rate that helped earn him a roster

A Detroit Cass Technical High School grad will be on the field for the Detroit Tigers’ 2022 opening day, and we’re not talking about one of the players. Jack White, the 46-year-old Detroit native and 12-time Grammy winner, is returning to his hometown Friday for the Tigers’ first game of the season. He and his
Longtime Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera has been willing to take a first base backseat to top prospect Spencer Torkelson–and said from the start they needed Torkelson’s bat in the lineup. But after turning in his first base glove to Torkelson, it is possible Cabrera’s designated hitter stable could be in flux.
The Detroit Tigers did a lot to improve this offseason. They got stronger up the middle on defense, and they beefed up their starting rotation. They also signed a veteran lefty reliever, promoted a top prospect, and traded for a powerful outfield bat.
The Detroit Tigers have revealed their Opening Day roster, finalizing the 28 players expected to be active for Friday’s opener against the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park.
