LAKELAND, Fla. — The point to first base from Miguel Cabrera to appeal a check swing was in midseason form. Never mind that there was no umpire at first base on the back fields at Tigertown on Saturday morning. Cabrera was going to have his fun with top prospect and future teammate Matt Manning on
Listen in as Jeimer Candelario goes through his spring training workout, including some friendly trash talk with Miguel Cabrera. Perhaps suggesting where Miggy should hit the ball isn’t the best idea?
The Detroit Tigers selected Akil Baddoo with the third overall pick of the most recent Rule 5 Draft. Finding up to date and relevant information about any of the prospects heading into the 2021 season is hard enough, but for Baddoo that is tenfold. He didn’t play much in 2019 before suffering a season ending
Before MLB’s experimental usage of the universal DH in 2020’s shortened season, you may recall seeing #PitchersWhoRake trending on social media whenever a moundsman did something remarkable at the plate. The Diamondbacks’ Madison Bumgarner, who leads all active pitchers with 19 home runs, often inspired use of the hashtag. Perhaps most famously, it blew up…
Among the lower tiers of prospects, there are a few general types. There are players with one loud tool, or a particular role in which to excel that forms a narrow pathway to the major leagues. There are young players who may appear raw and undersized, but have plenty of potential projection left to them
Jeff Seidel | Detroit Free Press LAKELAND, Fla. — There is one persistent, dominant question hanging over the Detroit Tigers’ future. How fast could Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson, their top two position prospects, reach the majors? It depends on how they perform in the minor leagues, of course. That is the most important factor. But
Chris McCosky | The Detroit News Lakeland, Fla. — Hang with me here: Let’s say this was like, 2005, and JaCoby Jones was a basketball player. At this stage of his career, he’d be more likely to thrive on the And1 Live Tour than in the NBA. He’s so gifted athletically. He can give you a
Evan Petzold | Detroit Free Press LAKELAND, Fla. — On Friday night, Detroit Tigers right-hander Michael Fulmer packed his bags and left the team’s spring training facility. He went home to Oklahoma, where his wife, Kelsey, gave birth to their second child. So much for Fulmer’s start Monday against the New York Yankees in Tampa.
Tigers centerfielder JaCoby Jones is feeling strong and healthy in spring training, and his confidence has been noticed by new manager AJ Hinch. Watch JaCoby go through a full workout, including new footwork drills that could help make the athletic outfielder even better.
Chris McCosky | The Detroit News Lakeland, Fla. — Julio Teheran didn’t suddenly forget how to pitch. Can we be clear about that? From 2013-2019, the two-time All-Star flat-out posted every five days. He made over 30 starts in each of those years, averaged 191 innings with a 3.64 ERA and a .231 opponent batting
LAKELAND, Fla. — Tyler Alexander isn’t used to being the teacher’s pet. He certainly isn’t used to being considered the model pitcher with a fastball that averages just over 90 mph. So when new Tigers manager A.J. Hinch called him out in a meeting last week, it caught him by surprise. Hinch, like his predecessor
JaCoby Jones says he’s got to be better at getting out of the way of inside pitches and jokes that only his left forearm remains unbroken. #TigersST
Matt Manning says his goal is to pitch his way onto the major-league roster right out of spring. #TigersST

Chris McCosky | The Detroit News Lakeland, Fla. — Remember all that talk from Friday about front-loading Michael Fulmer’s spring workload? Well, forget about that. Fulmer was called home to Oklahoma Friday night. His wife Kelsey delivered their second child, a girl, a few days ahead of her due date. Manager AJ Hinch reported that
The 2021 MLB Draft is still four months away, but college baseball is in full swing, so it’s time to begin our weekly updates to keep Detroit Tigers fans informed. We’ve already done our college and high school previews, but things can change quickly once the season starts. We speculated the college pitching class might…
