Latest blog entries from Detroit teams across every league
Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss announced after today’s 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies that rookie starting pitcher JR Ritchie will get his second major league start on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers. Weiss also confirm that former right-handed starter Reynaldo López is heading to the bullpen to work out some mechanical issues that are […]
After a gut-punch of a loss on Friday night, and a generalized shellacking on Saturday, could the Tigers salvage at least one win from their three-game series in Cincinnati? Well, with the help of some nice home runs — surprise, surprise, in this bandbox — and a feat not seen in a Tiger uniform for […]
After a slow start to the 2026 season, Detroit Tigers’ first baseman Spencer Torkelson is suddenly scorching hot. His approach has remained strong throughout some early struggles, with a consistently low chase rate and plenty of walks. He just wasn’t swinging at enough strikes. Problem solved. On Sunday, Torkelson homered for the fifth straight game, […]
Just about every time Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has talked to the media, he’s been asked about the health of the safety room—and for good reason. There remains a lot of uncertainty and mystery around a knee injury that held Kerby Joseph out for the majority of last season. And fans are eager […]

Rhett Lowder’s best outing of the 2026 season came back on April 4th against the Texas Rangers. The Cincinnati Reds righty fired 6.0 IP of scoreless, 3 hit ball that day, and he did so pitching to catcher Jose Trevino for the first (and, so far, only) time this year. That’s largely because Trevino hit […]
It’s a given year, and a given baseball season, and so the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen is a problem. Despite a nice run of 3-1-1 in their last five series, things still feel too precarious for any comfort. The club has the 19th best ERA and the 23rd best FIP out of their relief corps currently. […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is over, and now has come the time when everyone picks apart every team’s draft. Who won? What grade did they get? Why did that team reach, or how did that general manager get another steal? All of this is speculation, and all of it is extremely premature. But we indulge, […]
The Detroit Lions’ goal is to improve in 2026 and get back to the playoffs, with hopes of making their first-ever Super Bowl. After a somewhat quiet free agency, the team shifted its focus to the 2026 NFL Draft. Unlike last year, Detroit had more needs heading into the draft. The Lions have some tough […]
The Detroit Tigers have dropped the first two games of the weekend series at the Cincinnati Reds after their 9-2 loss on Saturday night. Jack Flaherty looked completely lost on the mound while solo shots by Kevin McGonigle and Spencer Torkleson were all that the offense could muster. On Sunday, they turn to right-hander Keider […]
The Cincinnati Reds welcomed Aaron Harang, Lou Piniella, Brandon Phillips, and Reggie Sanders into their team’s Hall of Fame in ceremony on Saturday afternoon. And while the butts in the seats in Great American Ball Park may well have been there to see them honor the team’s past, it was the present that ended up […]
Jack Flaherty had zero command of anything in this one and was mauled for six runs in two innings of work. Even accounting for Flaherty’s usual rollercoaster nature, this is two in a row where he really couldn’t put the fastball remotely where he wanted it with any consistency. Kevin McGonigle and Spencer Torkelson homered […]
It had been 715 days since Missouri baseball had last tasted a Southeastern Conference victory at Taylor Stadium. 1,491 days marked the last time the Tigers had bested Arkansas. Both of those streaks ended in Mizzou’s 6-0 victory on Saturday afternoon at Taylor Stadium. Another monkey off the Tigers’ back? Their recent nine-game losing streak, […]
The Detroit Lions added to their offensive skill players group in round five of the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting wide receiver Kendrick Law. A dynamic slot option who thrives on yards after the catch (YAC), Law will give the Lions another option to compete for the vacated Kalif Raymond role. Let’s take a look at […]
The Detroit Lions are reportedly signing former Illinois quarterback Luke Altmyer as an undrafted free agent, per Tom Pelissero. Altmyer originally enrolled at Ole Miss, but after getting beat out by Jaxson Dart in 2022, he transferred to Illinois and became a three-year starter for the Illini. In those three years, he completed 64.4 percent […]
With the 2026 NFL Draft weekend upon us, teams will introduce their latest rookie class to the league in hopes of having them become part of the next Super Bowl puzzle. The draft also means finalizing past trades that included future draft picks. That includes a deal made in August, which moved wide receiver Tim […]
General manager Brad Holmes and the Detroit Lions have never been afraid to make bold moves, and they did exactly that last offseason in a major trade up on draft day for wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa. Detroit moved up 30 spots last April to acquire TeSlaa atop the third round, sending away a pair of […]

The Cincinnati Reds weathered an early onslaught by the Detroit Tigers and a lengthy weather delay on Friday night before Nathaniel Lowe launched a walk-off dinger to give them a 9-8 victory in the series opener. On Saturday, they’ll formally induct each of Aaron Harang, Reggie Sanders, Brandon Phillips, and Lou Piniella into their team […]
To finish up the sixth round at pick 205, the Detroit Lions selected defensive tackle Skyler Gill-Howard from Texas Tech. After dipping into the offensive side of the football, Lions general manager Brad Holmes moved back to the defensive side. In typical Holmes fashion, he drafted a player who’s coming off an injury. Gill-Howard suffered […]
A couple of former Kentucky Football wide receivers heard their names called on Day 3 of the NFL Draft. Kendrick Law was drafted 168th overall by the Detroit Lions. Detroit traded up to take the former Kentucky wide receiver in Round 5. In his one year in Lexington, Law led Kentucky in receiving yards with […]
With the 2026 NFL Draft weekend upon us, teams will introduce their latest rookie class to the league in hopes of having them become part of the next Super Bowl puzzle. The draft also means finalizing past trades that included future draft picks. That includes a deal made in November 2024, which sent Za’Darius Smith […]
The Detroit Lions’ 2026 NFL draft class is in the books, and the team used seven draft picks to fill needs and add depth throughout the roster. General manager Brad Holmes got to work in the middle of the first round by grabbing their right tackle of the future, and then snagged a high upside […]
With their final pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions have selected Tennessee defensive lineman Tyre West. West is the third defensive lineman selected by the Lions this draft, joining second-round pick Derrick Moore and sixth-round pick Skyler Gill-Howard. He played mostly on the edge at Tennessee, working in a rotational role for […]
Neither Adoree’ Jackson nor Kelee Ringo inspired much confidence as the Eagles’ third cornerback to start the year. General manager Howie Roseman – perhaps the most active trader in the league – was wiling to roll the dice on Alexander despite his significant injury history, which seemed to affect his availability in Baltimore at the […]
