Spencer Torkelson was with his parents at their hotel room in Erie, Pa., when he got the call from SeaWolves manager Tom Prince that he was on the move. Riley Greene was with family, too, having dinner with his grandparents. Once the Tigers’ top prospects and good friends realized that they, along with shortstop prospect
Tigers top prospect Spencer Torkelson made the most of his time in AA Erie, and now he’s gotten the call to AAA Toledo. From his manager to his teammates, everyone agrees that “Tork” has the makings of an impact player.
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch turned his head and looked to home plate at Comerica Park, where outfielders Akil Baddoo and Derek Hill were taking swings off the pitching machine before Tuesday’s series opener with the Los Angeles Angels. “Well, it looks like they’re hitting,” Hinch said sarcastically. His two youngest and most exciting outfielders
Detroit — Turns out, the debate wasn’t whether or not to promote top prospects Spencer Turnbull and Riley Greene, as well as shortstop Ryan Kreidler, to Triple-A Toledo. The debate was whether to send them as a package or one at a time. There wasn’t much pushback on promoting them. “The organization really felt like the challenge
The Tigers announced they’ve placed right-hander Buck Farmer on unconditional release waivers. Upon clearing the waiver wire, he’ll become a free agent. Farmer was designated for assignment over the weekend. The move brings to an end Farmer’s eight-year tenure with the Tigers. Selected in the fifth round of the 2013 draft, Farmer pitched his way to
Logistically, they’re only 75 miles from Detroit. From a baseball-skills perspective, they’re a bit farther. But that promotion to Triple-A Toledo that came Sunday for Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson, Ryan Kreidler, and Brady Policelli, was about the Tigers’ plans for 2022 and beyond, and where they see at least three of the above as spring
Now that the Tigers have finished their 19 season games against Cleveland, it’s time to turn their attention towards another team that has always been something of a thorn in their side: the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels aren’t having their strongest season, in spite of an incredible performance both on the mound and in
For the second weekend in a row, the Tigers dropped two of three to Cleveland, missing another chance to move into second place. While second in the AL Central is fairly meaningless in the postseason picture, being able to finish the season there would represent a huge win for the rebuilding club. Just as playing
The Detroit Tigers believe in Willi Castro’s offense. He’s not quite the defensive shortstop the Tigers were banking on, but the truth is the organization won’t care if he never plays shortstop again. They just want to see his bat spark, as it did in 2020 during an American League Rookie of the Year race. To

Riley Greene is 4 years younger than the average age in the league he’s just been promoted out of, and there’s no one who thinks he isn’t ready. Hear from Greene, as well as his teammates, on what’s working for the 20-year-old prodigy, and how he’s still finding ways to improve as he makes the
We’ll take a break from our regularly scheduled Miguel Cabrera home-run vigil to ponder some future realities that affect the Tigers, Cabrera, and baseball at-large in Detroit. Specifically, there is the issue of his contract, which until details were examined, was believed to extend for the remainder of our natural lives. In fact, as we
Hours after Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch mentioned that he was unsure of the front office’s plans for handling Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene (apart from the fact they will not be in Detroit this season), the club announced that Torkelson, Greene, and Ryan Kreidler were promoted to Triple-A Toledo.
Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene looked to be on a path to finish out the summer at Double-A Erie, head to big league camp with the Tigers next Spring Training, compete for a roster spot, then maybe open the season at Triple-A Toledo if they didn’t make the Opening Day club. Then, with a flurry
The Detroit Tigers moved their top pitching prospects Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal to the big leagues in 2020. Embarking on their first full MLB season, the arms of the future are no longer considered prospects. But the organization’s farm system hasn’t missed a beat. The Tigers are ranked No. 6 in Baseball America’s midseason rankings,
One hit. That’s all the Detroit Tigers fans packing Comerica Park — well, as much as they could (and maybe more than) in a pandemic — were hoping for, all weekend long. And, of course, the baseball gods obliged as they often do: One hit. By Harold Castro. To break up a perfect game on
Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson are continuing their march through the Tigers farm system, and have picked up shortstop Ryan Kreidler along the way, as all 3 have been promoted to the Triple A Toledo Mud Hens for the remainder of the 2021 season. Hear what their teammates and coaches thought of each of their

Gregory Soto trotted up the clubhouse stairs and into the dugout at Camden Yards in Baltimore. He wasn’t going to pitch because he closed the previous two games, putting the Detroit Tigers in a position to sweep the Orioles. Regardless, Soto was preparing for three consecutive days of work, something manager AJ Hinch tries to avoid at all
