Well it’s not the spring camp we were hoping for as of yet, but the Detroit Tigers’ minor leaguers took the field today for their first practice together for the 2022 season. As MLB and the players’ union concluded another short meeting featuring another proposal from the union, the major leaguers of tomorrow were getting
LAKELAND, Fla. – Birds were chirping, the grass was green, the sun was out and the sky was the most wonderful blue I have ever seen — that part felt like a normal spring training. And so did this. Here came a familiar face, the guy who makes you feel all warm inside on a winter
LAKELAND, Fla. — Detroit Tigers reliever Drew Carlton will never forget what happened in 2021. That goes for everything, from his MLB debut in September to his removal from the organization’s 40-man roster in November. He reported to minor league minicamp Tuesday morning for his physical exam, describing the atmosphere as “a little weird” without MLB players
While we still don’t know exactly when the 2022 Detroit Tigers‘ season will start — the planned March 31 opener in Seattle seems unlikely with no CBA in place between the MLB owners and the players association — we do know what the Tigers will offer fans once the season does begin. The team announced

Lakeland, Fla. — Man, he had it going for a minute last year. It had to feel like living a dream. Right-handed reliever Will Vest, claimed by the Seattle Mariners from the Tigers in the 2020 Rule 5 draft, came charging out of the gates last season. In the first 14 games of his big-league career,
LAKELAND, Fla — Jackson Jobe, the Detroit Tigers‘ top pitching prospect, crouched behind home plate and flashed a sign, looking like a catcher. Tyler Madden, the Tigers’ second pick in the 2021 MLB draft, was on the mound on Wednesday morning on the back fields at Tiger Town, the first day of the Tigers minicamp. Jobe wanted
Lakeland, Fla. — If you call up the Toledo Mud Hens roster off its team page, you’ll see Niko Goodrum listed among the infielders. “No, I’m free,” Goodrum said in phone interview Tuesday. Yes he is. After four seasons with the Tigers, Goodrum, who turns 30 on Feb. 28, was not tendered a contract and is
The Detroit Tigers had a widely-applauded draft in 2020; a year in which the selection process was limited to just five rounds and the Detroit Tigers were limited to just six picks. The Tigers would kick off day one with consensus top player Spencer Torkelson, but they also led off day two with the second…

With minor league players reporting to a spring minicamp on Wednesday, and spring training looking increasingly like it will be composed of non-40-man roster players, composing a preview for the Tigers is a bit tricky. We should be turning from the Super Bowl to the arrival of pitchers and catchers. Instead the big storylines are
LAKELAND, Fla. — Pitchers and catchers from the Detroit Tigers flooded into the team’s spring training facility Tuesday to complete their physicals ahead of Wednesday’s first workout. All major league players were absent. Spring training is officially delayed for players on the 40-man roster because of MLB’s lockout, which began Dec. 2 after the expiration of the
The MLB owners’ lockout of the players continued into its 71st day Friday with few major changes in the two sides’ proposals. The MLB Players Association, led by ex-Detroit Tiger Tony Clark, is in search of, among other things, higher pay for young players, a higher minimum salary, an end to service time manipulation and
Schuyler Dixon | Associated Press Fort Worth, Texas — Four major league players testified Tuesday that they received oxycodone pills from a former Los Angeles Angels employee accused of providing Tyler Skaggs the drugs that led to the pitcher’s overdose death. Pitchers Matt Harvey, Mike Morin and Cam Bedrosian and first baseman C.J. Cron all took
For the past month we’ve been offering detailed looks at all the Detroit Tigers prospects we ranked in our top 20 list. Most recently we wrote about infielder Ryan Kreidler and pitchers Joey Wentz and Ty Madden, but now we focus on the the highest ranked pitching prospect in the system, Jackson Jobe.
Lakeland, Fla. — If you just look at the numbers, you might question why the Tigers bothered to take right-handed pitcher Nick Kuzia in the minor league Rule 5 draft last December. Signed by the San Diego Padres as an undrafted free agent out of UMass-Lowell in 2017, he’s banged around as kind of an organizational

The SeaWolves announced today that the team will host three Game Day Crew hiring events. The team is seeking outgoing, enthusiastic individuals (ages 16 & up) to fill a variety of game day positions for the 2022 baseball season. The hiring events will take place in the UPMC Park Stadium The SeaWolves announced today that
If there is anything we have learned about the Detroit Tigers fanbase across the rebuild, it’s that the fans are unbelievably loyal to their team. They watched their club limp to last-place finishes and 95+ loss seasons from 2017-2019 and likely would have had another in 2020 had it not been for a pandemic-shortened year.
A few words about this consarned MLB lockout and its ruination of what should have been a happy week of baseball’s-back chatter from Lakeland, Florida, and other sunny venues where spring training was supposed to begin: Deal with it. Truly, deal with it. Patiently. Because two realities were brewing heading into 2022. 1. This new
