As a collective here at Motor City Bengals, just like the fans of the Detroit Tigers, we all look at the off-season from completely different points of view. There are a percentage of Tigers who view not getting Carlos Correa as a “failure”. There also a selective few who believe that Al Avila not making…
LAKELAND, Fla. — Now, the story can be told. A story that could only happen at spring training because Lakeland is such a small place. One night last week, it was pouring rain. I finished a workout, drove to a LongHorn Steakhouse, sprinted to the front door, got under the awning and ducked inside, soaking
From 1977, when he was a 17-year-old outfielder from California drafted by the Chicago White Sox, until Sept. 4, 2018, Rod Allen was employed, some way, somehow, in professional baseball. It was a 40-plus run that took him from a player — with a bit role on the Tigers’ 1984 World Series championship team — to a coach, to
Up until a few days ago, Tyler Alexander had been battling for a fifth rotation spot for the Detroit Tigers. The club was public about their desire to acquire more pitching; likewise, Alexander wasn’t afraid of stating his case to be a permanent and trusted resource to the starting rotation.
Lakeland, Fla. — It was his first start of the spring and it was just two innings, but to think where Matt Manning was at this time last year (lost) and then see how he looked on Monday in the Tigers’ 3-1 exhibition loss to the Blue Jays at Joker Marchant Stadium (found) — it’s rather
Switch-hitter Robbie Grossman ended the 2021 season on a high and it’s obvious he brought the heat right back to Spring Training this year. In 2008, Grossman was drafted in the 6th round, 174th overall out of Cy-Fair High School by the Pittsburgh Pirates during MLB’s Amateur Draft in June of that year. After a…
LAKELAND, Fla. — For a minute, the battle between Matt Manning and Bo Bichette looked like the same pitch on a loop: Manning throwing a fastball, Bichette fouling it off. It happened on four consecutive pitches, and five times in a nine-pitch at-bat. “It was hard to come off the heater,” Manning said after the

After what felt like an eternity of a lockout, the Detroit Tigers are finally on their way to baseball in 2022 with only a short delay in the action. We no longer need to suffer through headlines of hidden meanings from the latest negotiations; instead, fans can focus on hits, mitts, and everything that happens…
LAKELAND, Fla. — Detroit Tigers infielder Isaac Paredes, a former top prospect, is back for another spring training, and his search for career-changing breakthrough continues. He is once again in the mix to make the Opening Day roster. The 23-year-old has competed in parts of two MLB seasons but hasn’t established himself as a big-leaguer, with just
Lakeland, Fla. — If you lock in on Victor Reyes this spring, you might notice he’s slightly altered his batting stance. He is holding his hands higher, standing a little straighter in the batters’ box. In his much-improved English, the Tigers’ 27-year-old outfielder explained that it was a mechanism to help him slow his hands down.
It was pretty tough to be upset with the Detroit Tigers’ 2021-22 offseason — up until approximately 2 a.m. Saturday morning, Sure, there was that pesky 99-day lockout, when we all wondered if we’d actually get Major League Baseball — the uncut stuff, not the watered-down 19-year-olds wandering around TigerTown — at all this year. But
After picking up reliever Andrew Chafin, and then starting pitcher Michael Pineda, GM Al Avila confirmed that the Detroit Tigers’ offseason was complete. The two big signings of Eduardo Rodriguez and Javy Báez led the way back in November, although their trade for catcher Tucker Barnhart was the first move of the offseason. Ultimately it

LAKELAND, Fla. — Michael Pineda didn’t receive any significant interest on the free-agent market before MLB’s lockout. Then, the 33-year-old had to wait 99 days. “It’s tough,” Pineda said Sunday morning. “It’s hard. I’ve been in the league for a little bit, and I’ve never seen nothing like this. I’m not going to say I was a
Victor Reyes is projected to receive a one year contract valued at $1.25 to $1.3 million for the 2022 season, depending which forecast you’re looking at. But that money wouldn’t have been guaranteed unless he made the opening day roster- until this year. Under the terms of major league baseball’s recently expired collective bargaining agreement,
