Detroit Tigers News: Willie Horton, MLB Postseason, Rays, Guardians, Dodgers, Drew Rasmussen
The ALCS reaches a pivotal moment as the Tampa Bay Rays, buoyed by Drew Rasmussen’s clutch performance in Game 5, close in on a World Series berth against the Brewers. Meanwhile, Detroit celebrates Willie Horton’s 84th birthday and adds former catcher Martín Maldonado to its coaching staff, reuniting with A.J. Hinch. The post also previews Game 6, reviews the Dodgers’ NLCS sweep, and touches on a weak free‑agent pool and offseason moves.
ALCS Game 4 gamethread: Rays at Guardians, 8:00 p.m. ET
The Cleveland Guardians rode their top arms to a slim 3-2 victory on Thursday, taking a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Gavin Williams and the Guardians did their thing, racking up 13 strikeouts and allowing just two hits on the night. Williams, however, saw his velocity start to plummet beyond 50 pitches in that […]
Detroit Tigers News: Troy Melton, Gold Glove Awards, MLB Postseason, Shohei Ohtani, Jackson Chourio
Happy Friday, everyone! As we continue our way through the postseason and get closer to knowing which two teams will be headed to the World Series. In Tigers news, we look at a positive outlook for young pitcher Troy Melton, and in broader baseball news, we look at some players coming in clutch for their […]
ALCS/NLCS gamethread: Rays at Guardians, Brewers at Dodgers
The mighty Los Angeles Dodgers have their backs to the wall as the Milwaukee Brewers look to continue their clinical dismantling of the two-time defending World Series champs. The Brewers hold a 3-0 lead and will look to put the Dodgers away tonight and advance to the World Series for the first time since 1982. […]
MLB created a Dodgers monster and they want the players to help slay it
As we near the conclusion of the 2026 major league baseball season, the powers that run the game and the players who play it are gearing up for another major confrontation this offseason. The new collective bargaining agreement is going to be an ugly and probably a painfully long process before the parties come to […]
NLCS Game 3 gamethread: Brewers at Dodgers
With the Cleveland Guardians and the Tampa Bay Rays tied up at a game apiece and taking an off day to move the series to Cleveland, attention shifts back to the National League fully on Wednesday night. The Dodgers are in trouble. With Shohei Ohtani presumably battling injuries and entirely ineffective at the plate over […]
Dillon Dingler and Zach McKinstry named finalists for Gold Glove Awards
The 2026 Rawlings Gold Glove awards won’t be announced until November 1, but the list of finalists at each position was released on Wednesday. The Detroit Tigers have two representatives in the group of American League finalists, one with a legitimate shot to win an award, the other a longshot. Dillon Dingler is the first […]
Detroit Tigers News: ALCS, NLCS, Shohei Ohtani, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Kirk Gibson, Joe Espada
It’s a light week for Tigers news, but that doesn’t mean Detroit is escaping the offseason rumor mill. While there’s nothing really serious stoking the hot stove, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some rumors to dip our toes into. The main one that’s circulating at the moment is whether All-Star slugger Jazz Chisholm Jr. might […]
ALCS Game 2 gamethread: Guardians at Rays
The Milwaukee Brewers went up 2-0 over the reigning World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. That series moves to Los Angeles on Wednesday. So far, the talented young Brewers have looked much better at the plate than the Dodgers, but we’ll see how long that holds up. The Dodgers are definitely backed […]
ALCS/NLCS gamethread: Dodgers at Brewers, Guardians at Rays
The star studded pitching matchup between the Milwaukee Brewers Jacob Misiorowski and the Los Angeles Dodgers Tarik Skubal turned out to be a bit of a dud on Sunday night. Both were overpowering at points, but neither produced anything close to a dominant start. Ultimately, Skubal took a bit more damage, the Dodgers veteran bats […]
Detroit Tigers News: Zyhir Hope starts well in Arizona Fall League action
As the league championship series get underway, there isn’t a whole lot of news out of the Detroit Tigers. Minor league reliever Tanner Rainey elected free agency last week. The Tigers parted ways with first base coach Anthony Sanders and assistant pitching coach Juan Nieves, following in the steps of Joey Cora, who was replaced […]
NLCS Game 1 gamethread: Dodgers at Brewers
This is going to be a really interesting series. Can the evil Los Angeles Dodgers, whose ownership has been allowed to run rampant with deferrals and exemptions from revenue sharing payments, three-peat? Or will the scrappy, super-analytical Milwaukee Brewers finally break through and reach the World Series? We’re going to get a whale of a […]
MLB Divisional Round gamethread: White Sox at Guardians
The Dodgers, Brewers, and Rays are all into the league championship round. On Saturday night at 8:00 p.m. ET on TBS, the final team will be decided in Cleveland in an AL Central matchup as the White Sox square off with the Guardians in a decisive Game 5. Like any Game 5 scenario, this is […]
Detroit Tigers News: MLB proposes shortened regular season, Kevin McGonigle wins another award
The preparation continues for this impending misery of an offseason. MLB and the players union have already been lobbing proposals at each other for months, and this will no doubt continue as either side tries to position itself and lobby the fanbase in advance of the next collective bargaining agreement negotiations this winter. MLB came […]
MLB Divisional Round Gamethread: Guardians at White Sox
Three teams advanced to the league championship round on Wednesday night. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers wrapped up their series wins over the Atlanta Braves and the San Diego Padres, respectively. They’ll square off in what should be a pretty epic NLCS. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays completed their dismantling of the New […]
MLB Divisional Round gamethread: Four teams now face elimination
Yoshinobu Yamamato starred for the Dodgers on Tuesday as they took a 2-1 lead over the Braves. The Padres scrapped their way to a victory to avoid elimination by the Brewers as starter Michael King filled in for ace closer Mason Miller, who is on paternity leave. On Wednesday, all four series are back in […]
MLB experiments with outfield positioning restrictions in the Arizona Fall League
The Arizona Fall League is only a few games into its five week schedule. The Tigers have some players to follow out there, including top prospects Bryce Rainer and Zyhir Hope, infielder John Peck, hard-throwing relief prospect Jalen Evans, along with starting prospect Win Scott. We’ll be updating their progress weekly throughout the Fall League […]
Detroit Tigers News: Riley Greene Hank Aaron Award, MLB Postseason, Mason Miller tipping, Shohei Ohtani
There’s something kind of fun about watching the postseason drama unfold when you don’t have a horse in the race. Sure, it would be more enjoyable to watch if the Tigers were still in it, but it’s also very fun to watch the White Sox absolutely destroy the Guardians with no worries about the outcome. […]
MLB Divisional Round gamethread: Brewers at Padres, Dodgers at Braves
Both the Tampa Bay Rays and the Chicago White Sox took big steps toward wrapping up their ALDS series early as they won on Monday to take 2-0 leads over the New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians. The Yankees just fell apart defensively behind their ace, probably AL Cy Young winner Cam Schlittler. The Rays […]
MLB Playoffs Divisional Round: White Sox at Guardians, Yankees at Rays
After Saturday’s controversial ending to Game 1 of the Padres and Brewers series, it looked like the Padres were going to even the series and put the roofball issue aside with a clean slate for the rest of the series. Instead, ace closer Mason Miller was tasked with getting six outs to and holding a […]
MLB Divisional Round: Padres at Brewers, Braves at Dodgers
The Brewers took Game 1 of their NLDS matchup against the Padres in pretty strange fashion on Saturday. Ty France’s 9th inning home run bid hit the roof of American Family Field and turned into a fly out instead. The rules are the rules but that was a pretty bizarre and unfortunate outcome that took […]
Where should the Tigers play Kevin McGonigle?
The first thing we should do this offseason is appreciate an all-time great rookie season, and what seems certain to be an AL Rookie of the Year award. The only real question around the Tigers fresh-faced star is where to play him. McGonigle played almost his entire, though certainly brief minor league career at the […]
MLB Divisional Round: Game 1 open thread
Join us as all four divisional series get underway on Saturday. Each best-of-five playoff series in the divisional round will have a 2-2-1 home field structure, where the higher seeded team hosts Game 1, Game 2, and if necessary the deciding Game 5, while the lower seed hosts Game 3 and Game 4. Chicago White […]
MLB Trade Rumors estimates Tigers arbitration raises for 2027
MLB Trade Rumors published their estimates for 2027 raises for arbitration eligible players on Friday. Their system is based on a model created by Matt Swartz that inputs all the relevant historical data on arbitration salaries both agreed and arbitrated to generate an estimate for each player. MLBTR has been using it for over a […]
Eduardo Valencia and Hao-Yu Lee seized 2027 roster spots
As the Detroit Tigers begin the 2026-2027 offseason, there are quite a lot of roster spots that are obviously locked up. Among the rookies there are many more question marks, but clearly Kevin McGonigle and Max Clark are in the lineup on Opening Day. For rookies like Ben Malgeri, Brett Callahan, and John Peck, things […]
