That’s his white whale, the ever-elusive event he’s never been able to check off the bucket list, despite calling everything else under the sun. And it probably won’t happen at NBC, not because the voice of Sunday Night Football isn’t capable, but because the network…
Tarik Skubal is earning a record-setting $32 million this year after he won the salary arbitration case against the Detroit Tigers. Once he becomes a free agent at the end of this season, Skubal will surely spark a bidding war in the offseason. Teams will not hesitate to splurge on the back-to-back Cy Young Award […]

The Detroit Tigers made it six straight losses and ninth in the last 10 games with a 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays at Comerica Park on Monday night. Framber Valdez was just good enough to earn a quality start, but his offense failed to find any real momentum. Taking the mound for the […]
After yet another clunker in a season full of them, Detroit is dealing with a serious case of buyer's remorse — with no easy exit in sight.
The Tigers continue to lose at the worst possible time, dropping the first game of their series against the Rays 4-1. Let’s throw our memories back a ways, to the last time the Tigers squared off against the Rays. Detroit was down and out, and the Rays were red hot. That series defied all expectations […]
The last time the Rays faced the Tigers, it went very poorly for Tampa Bay. They went into the series looking to topple an easy opponent, and instead the series seemed to turn everything around for the Tigers, at least for a brief period of time. The Tigers once again find themselves down and out, […]

To open a 40-man spot, righty Ricky Vanasco has been designated for assignment. Evan Woodbery of MLive Media Group was among those to pass along the moves. Kinley […]
The past week of MLB action saw some movement. However, much of the movement happened with teams who were in the middle of our MLB Power Rankings last week. Meanwhile, the top of the power rankings did not see as much change. The Milwaukee Brewers continue to play consistent baseball and they are our No. […]

A lot can change in 427 days, especially if your name is Kade Anderson. That’s exactly how many days were between his final collegiate start and his MLB debut. Since that final appearance in a Tiger uniform, Anderson won a national championship, got drafted #3 overall, breezed through AA baseball to become the top prospect […]
The Detroit Tigers designated a former Minnesota Twins outfielder for assignment on Sunday.
Just a few months back in March, San Diego Padres’ Jackson Merrill had a highlight performance against the Detroit Tigers, as he leaped at the wall in deep center field to rob Kevin McGonigle of a 403-foot would-be home run. Then, it became a casual defensive play for him, recording 4 such moves. But on […]

Win number eight wasn’t pretty, but the Royals got the job done in an 11-7 victory over the Tigers to extend their wining streak. The Royals won all seven games of their homestand, just the fourth time in club history they have had a perfect homestand of seven or more games. If you had “Salvador […]
A bit wilder sort of game broke out on Sunday, but the result was the same. The Royals teed off on the Tigers bullpen, including Andrew Sears in his major league debut, all game long. The offense fought back repeatedly, but just couldn’t keep pace as the Royals swept them out of Kauffman Stadium with […]
