Enmanuel de Jesus, Gleyber Torres feature as Venezuela ousts Japan
The World Baseball Classic continues to be the most fun you can have with March baseball. Move over March Madness. On Saturday night, an absolute classic unfolded as Team Venezuela took on Team Japan in a back and forth slugfest that saw the Venezuelans advance to the semifinals with a wild 8-5 victory. Detroit Tigers’ […]

Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospects #15: RHP Lucas Elissalt
We’re pretty excited about Lucas Elissalt. Right now he doesn’t really have the stuff of a frontline starter, but there are a lot of traits that point toward a very advanced young pitcher who repeats everything well with good command. As we keep noting in these reports, the Tigers have had a lot of success […]
Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospects #16: RHP Malachi Witherspoon
While the prep pitchers have dealt with injury, the Detroit Tigers continue to do well in the college ranks. Outside of Jackson Jobe, most of their pitching success on the farm has come from finding undervalued college arms like Troy Melton, Jake Miller, Andrew Sears, Lucas Elissalt, and Jaden Hamm. Other than Melton, the group […]
Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospects #17: C Michael Oliveto
Drafting prep position players with their top picks has been the core of the Detroit Tigers’ draft strategy since Scott Harris took over the club from Al Avila. It’s gone very, very well. Despite fears about the longer timelines involved, Kevin McGonigle, Max Clark, and Bryce Rainer are all ranked in the top half of […]

Tigers Talk: Who are your final three relievers on the Opening Day roster?
In a sense, spring warm up is just ending now and something like the actual competition for the final roster spots ramping up over the final two weeks of Grapefruit League action. The first weeks are mainly just stretching out into game shape and getting rhythm and timing going, both at the plate and on […]
Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospects #18: RHP Owen Hall
The prep pitcher theme continues at number 18 with right-hander Owen Hall. At least the now 20-year-old Hall got on the mound last spring for a few games before going down with a stress reaction in his right shoulder. Considering how things have gone with their prep pitchers from the draft, the Tigers didn’t hesitate […]
Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospects #19: RHP Zach Swanson
One of the most anticipated minor league debuts this season will be Zach Swanson embarking on his first pro season. The right-hander is another in the Detroit Tigers stash of prep pitchers they’ve drafted over the last three years who immediately went down with a major injury. The theory is that they can add a […]

Positioning and pitch sequencing are the Tigers defensive strength
Over the last five years, we’ve written often about the outstanding job A.J. Hinch and his staff does in terms of getting the most out of a good, but far from dominant roster. From pinch-hitting, to bullpen usage, to creativity when things go wrong, to details like taking the extra base, the Tigers continue to […]

Open Discussion: Let’s talk about the World Baseball Classic
Typically, at this time of year, the headlines are filled with stories from spring training camps as Major League Baseball teams prepare for their upcoming campaign. However, things are a little bit different this season with the World Baseball Classic being played until the middle of this month. The games are being played at four […]
MLB News: Tarik Skubal, World Baseball Classic, Cal Raleigh, Randy Arozarena, Kevin McGonigle
Happy Wednesday everyone, we’ve got lots and lots of WBC content to get into in today’s news brief, so let’s not waste any time. Today we’ve got Tarik Skubal sharing why he decided to leave the WBC after a single game (something he had already announced even before the Classic began), and as predicted: he’s […]
Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospects #20: RHP River Hamilton
Perhaps we should have learned our lesson with prep pitching prospects. The Tigers have taken a slew of talented high school arms over the past three years, but so far their progress has been stifled by injuries. Still, River Hamilton is another talented young pitcher with a lot of projection. Injury risk is a factor […]
Enmanuel de Jesus added to 40-man roster, Troy Melton to the 60-day IL
From the moment the Detroit Tigers signed left-hander Enmanuel de Jesus to a minor league deal and camp invite back in December, it was clear they wouldn’t be able to stash him in the minor leagues and off the 40-man roster for long. As it turned out, interest from other teams forced the issue and […]

The battle for the final spots in the Tigers’ bullpen begins
As noted in the position player roster battle article earlier today, the first couple weeks of camp does less to change teams’ opinions of their options than outside observers tend to expect. With the rotation set, and at least five spots, and probably more like seven, in the eight-man bullpen already spoken for, it’s only […]
Kevin McGonigle is the lynchpin for the Tigers positional roster battles
After a few weeks of work that generally has zero predictive value on the upcoming season, spring training is finally reaching a point where pitchers and hitters are no longer just shaking off the winter’s rust. The Grapefruit League season concludes on March 25. Opening Day is March 27 in San Diego. So while we […]

Enmanuel de Jesus punches out eight in dominant WBC performance
Saturday night was supposed to be about Tarik Skubal, at least from a Tigers fans’ perspective. The best pitcher in baseball had a perfectly fine short outing for Team USA against Team Britain, but it was southpaw Enmanuel de Jesus who put on a show. Taking on Team Israel, which does feature a few major […]
Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospects #21: RHP Dylan Smith
Like Ty Madden, our 21st ranked prospect, right-hander Dylan Smith was a starting pitching prospect for years in the Tigers system. The lack of a third pitch always had Smith on the outside looking in, and then injuries did the rest. Reinvented as a reliever, Smith showed some flashes of potential in the Tigers’ bullpen […]
