No one is quite sure what to expect from the Trade Deadline this year. With a shorter season, expanded playoffs and the deadline moved back to Aug. 31, it remains to be seen whether we’ll see more or less movement than normal. We’ve identified the most tradeable prospect for each of the 30 clubs. In
Daniel Norris has been where Tarik Skubal was on Sunday, fighting a pitch count as ardently as the batter, trying to finish an outing on a positive note and keep a game close. He was just there last year. So when Norris’ call from the bullpen came early, entering with Daniel Norris has been where
Not many players have an All-Star like Cal Ripken Jr. did in his final appearance at the Midsummer Classic. He was surprised to find out that Alex Rodriguez planned to switch positions with him so Cal can start at shortstop, he hit a home run in the 3rd inning and was gifted an award and
Evan Petzold Detroit Free Press Published 5:48 PM EDT Aug 24, 2020 Detroit Tigers left-hander Daniel Norris loves to operate out of the starting rotation. That’s why the Toronto Blue Jays drafted him in the second round (No. 74 overall) of the 2011 draft, and why the Tigers made sure he was packaged with lefty Matthew Boyd in the
Ted Kulfan The Detroit News Published 6:03 PM EDT Aug 24, 2020 Detroit — In this instance, it was just another game, and will be just another series, for Tigers third baseman Isaac Paredes. Sure, Paredes was dealt from the Chicago Cubs to the Tigers at the 2017 trade deadline, but Paredes was in the
The Pirates announced Monday that they’ve claimed right-hander Carson Fulmer off waivers from the Tigers and designated outfielder Guillermo Heredia for assignment in order to open a spot on the roster. Pittsburgh will be the third team in 2020 to try its hand in helping Fulmer to right the ship. The 26-year-old was selected by
Casey Mize and his split-finger fastball lived up to their billing in his big league debut. Scouts considered Mize’s splitter the most devastating pitch in the 2018 Draft, where the Tigers selected him No. 1 overall. It continued to overmatch hitters during his 26 starts in the Minors, during which Casey Mize and his split-finger
Tigers closer Joe Jimenez came into the season ready to build off a strong September. Instead, his fastball has let him down, leading him on a downward spiral to start the year. Despite struggling for much of the season last year, Joe Jimenez came to camp this year seeking to prove he could become the
Ryan Ford Detroit Free Press Published 12:00 PM EDT Aug 24, 2020 Happy Mize Day! (Do you know how lonnnnnnnnnng we’ve been waiting to say that here at the Detroit Tigers Newsletter? Yeah, you probably do.) Yes, after more than two years of waiting, everyone’s favorite Tigers pitching prospect is in the rotation, and making
Spencer Turnbull could be the Detroit Tigers’ last big trade chip. The concept of trading Spencer Turnbull isn’t particularly new. Just a few weeks ago our own Jake Boes wrote about Atlanta Braves fans clamoring for the big right-hander. But a recent tweet from erstwhile Detroit News columnist Lynn Henning stirred up the debate:
Astros’ Zack Greinke pulled out an INSANE 54-mph eephus pitch on Sunday vs. the Padres! He also took a little break on the field during a mound repair moment.

The recent promotions of Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, and Isaac Paredes by the Detroit Tigers is hopefully the sign of a strong new force in the organization leading the club on a revitalizing path ahead. For observers of the Detroit Tigers ball club, the hope is they will look back in a few years and
In a season as short and unusual as this one, there are going to be players who come out of nowhere to contribute to their team’s success. One hot week from a player no one saw coming can change a whole season. You can make an argument that an underdog, unheralded player could make more
Evan Petzold Detroit Free Press Published 7:39 PM EDT Aug 23, 2020 Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize felt the anticipation for his MLB debut Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox — from the franchise that drafted him No. 1 overall in 2018, his family, the fans and, of course, his personal emotions. As his second start dawns,

Evan Petzold Detroit Free Press Published 6:56 PM EDT Aug 23, 2020 It was a “déjà vu” situation for Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal, and not in a good way. In his MLB debut Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox, he gave up a leadoff home run to Tim Anderson on a 94 mph fastball. Likewise,
