St. Louis Blues forward Jordan Kyrou is a prime trade candidate to watch during the offseason. The skilled forward has been in the rumor mill for a long time now, and it is clear that he could use a change of scenery. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire Kyrou during the offseason now. Detroit Red Wings Adding another top-six winger this offseason should be one of the Red Wings' top priorities. Because of this, it would not be surprising in the slig...
The NBA Playoffs continue tonight with three more games on tap! In the Eastern Conference, the Detroit Pistons will try to avoid falling into a 3-1 series hole against the rejuvenated Orlando Magic. Then in the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder face the Phoenix Suns, followed by a matchup between the Denver Nuggets and […]
A recent report from The New York Post’s Jon Heyman suggested that the San Diego Padres might return to their former Seidler-spending ways this offseason, even getting into the bidding war for the services of Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal. Skubal has long been sought after by other clubs, and teams like the Los Angeles […]
Following the completion of the 2026 NFL Draft, we published our latest SB Nation Reacts survey, sponsored by the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook, asking Detroit Lions fans to assign a grade to the entire draft class. First, here’s a quick reminder of the team’s 2026 draft class: And now for the results from our survey: A […]
Detroit Tigers infield prospect Hao-Yu Lee had a pretty rough spring. After a slow start in camp, he headed off to represent his native Taiwan in the World Baseball Classic. An oblique strain suffered before the tournament even began caused him to miss the opportunity, and then it lingered, costing him the first week of […]
Red Wings boss Steve Yzerman made it pretty clear at the season-ending press conference: The team needs a significant change to get to the next level. In fact, he said, frankly, "We need better players." And if the offseason target is new, "better" players, then some current Wings will undoubtedly have to be moved out of Motown. Max Bultman of The Athletic names no less than seven Detroit players who may have played their last game with the team. We'll go through his list, from most like...
With the 2026 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, it’s time for the annual tradition of immediately looking ahead to the next draft cycle to see what your favorite team might do (they almost certainly won’t) in the next offseason. While this exercise is meant to be fun and entertaining, I always recommend using it […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, making it an excellent time to look at the Detroit Lions roster with an updated depth chart. This version of the Lions depth chart lists/ranks all players, highlights the team’s current projected starters (in bold), and identifies the newly drafted rookies with an asterisk (*), giving fans […]
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 […]
