After a rain delay at Comerica Park, the Tigers were looking to wrap up their hopeful sweep of the Royals before heading to Boston for the weekend to take on the Red Sox. Hoping to get them there was Keider Montero on the mound, up against Kris Bubic for the Royals. Montero has had a […]

Everyone loves the MLB Draft, right? It’s April, which means it’s time to cover the second edition of Baseball America’s Mock Draft season! Yes, it’s irresponsibly early, and yes, here I am anyways. As a reminder, the MLB Draft is scheduled for July 11th and 12th. It recently got moved to the All Star Break […]
With last week’s frustrating series loss against North Carolina and a midweek victory over Charlotte behind them, the baseball Tigers face yet another grueling challenge in ACC play. Knocking off the #9 ranked Virginia Cavaliers in Charlottesville is a tall task for Clemson, but as games 1 and 3 of last weekend’s series with the […]

If you read the little text under this article, I dubbed this a must win game for the Royals. While this is just game 18 on the season, this game tonight is huge for the vibes and direction of the team. The Royals are 7-10 on the season, mostly because of inept offense, they’ve scored […]
The Detroit Tigers announced on Wednesday that infielder Kevin McGonigle has agreed to a long-term deal set to run from 2027-2034. The deal guarantees the rookie phenon $150 million over that eight-year term, with escalators that could make the total worth $160 million. The 21-year-old will be a Tiger until he’s 30 years old under […]
Not too long ago, it felt like the Detroit Tigers would never win again. Following a five-game losing streak, the Motor City Kitties have now won four straight after taking the series opener from the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night, 2-1. AJ Hinch and Co. have a chance to get back to the .500 […]
Kenley Jansen needed little introduction when the Detroit Tigers signed the 38-year-old closer to a free agent deal back in December. He’s one of the truly great relievers in the game’s long history. The one year, $9 million deal was a pretty reasonably price for an all-time great even on the downside of his career. […]
In what is becoming a theme in this short season, the Kansas City offense no-showed and the bullpen again blew a slim lead as the Tigers beat the Royals 2-1 in Detroit. Until the late innings, the first inning and half contained all the action, and it started very quickly. With one out in the […]
The Tigers are happy to be home. They had an incredible weekend sweep against the Marlins, and with division rivals the Kansas City Royals in town for a three-game series, they were hoping to keep climbing in the AL Central standings.

Imagine being the Detroit Tigers: you went out and loaded up on a $200 million payroll. You’re paying five players—Jack Flaherty, Framber Valdez, Gleyber Torres, Javier Baez, and Tarik Skubal—$20 million or more. You expect to win the division, or at least grab a playoff spot. And here we are on April 14 and you’re […]
The Royals and Tigers were projected by many models to be the top two teams in the division, but both have stumbled out of the game to a sub-.500 record. The Tigers perhaps hit rock bottom after suffering a four-game sweep at the hands of the Twins, but righted the ship last weekend with a […]

Well, considering the extent of Parker Meadows injuries after his collision with Riley Greene last week, this isn’t surprising. The Tigers on Monday moved the center fielder to the 60-day injured list with a fractured left arm as well as a concussion. The initial impact looked like Meadows, trying to veer away from Greene, who […]
The Detroit Tigers might have the deepst group of position player prospects the organization has ever amassed at one time in the farm system. Certainly the farm years of the ‘84 Tigers teams may remain the best cluster of Tigers’ homegrown players to ever develop into the core of a team, but from Kevin McGonigle, […]
Coming off a sweep in Minnesota, the Detroit Tigers needed to right the ship with some home cooking.

The Tigers record is now back to 7-9, but […]
