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 […]

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 […]

MLB Wild Card elimination thread for Phillies at Braves

Three of the four Wild Card series were decided on Wednesday. The White Sox took out the Astros by again jumping out to an early lead and then pulling away. In the process they won their first postseason series since their 2005 World Series title. The Yankees pitching staff continued to work over a pretty […]

MLB Wild Card Round day 2: Open Thread

Postseason baseball is back, and unfortunately the Detroit Tigers aren’t part of it. For some, that really kills the interest level, and I get it. On the other hand, sports are amplified by the bright lights of the playoffs and World Series, and there is little better than postseason baseball in my opinion. So, pick […]

Scott Harris and AJ Hinch’s press conference says they’re staying the course

End of season press conferences are by definition lacking in substance. Nothing Scott Harris or AJ Hinch was going to say would change anything for the 2026 season now past, and they aren’t going to address the impending offseason with any specifics. Questions about extensions for Riley Greene and Max Clark were rebuffed, as it’s […]

Highlights from Justin Verlander’s retirement weekend

It was an emotional weekend to be a Tigers fan. First, the team ended their season in September instead of making a repeat trip to the postseason, which was certainly a bummer after the year got off to a strong start. But 2026 was not meant to be the Year of the Tiger. This weekend […]

Justin Verlander and the passage of time

All things come to an end, and on Saturday we witnessed a really poignant ending to the career of one of the greatest pitchers and greatest Detroit Tigers of all time. Justin Verlander, with minimal preparation and no buildup, took the mound against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Comerica Park, and managed to turn back the […]

Tigers drop season finale

After an incredible Saturday game which featured all kinds of feelings, the season finale took place on another picture-perfect day in Detroit against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
