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 […]

Justin Verlander will take the mound in a Tigers’ uniform today
This wasn’t something most of us ever thought we’d see again. When long-time ace and future Hall of Famer, Justin Verlander, was traded away on August 31, 2017, an eventual reunion seemed a lot more likely. With the Tigers going into rebuild mode, the hope at the time was that they might re-renter a competitive […]
MLB News: Jason Benetti NBC, Kevin McGonigle, World Baseball Classic, Spring Training
If you watch the Tigers during the regular season, you have likely grown to know and love the voice of Jason Benetti. He started with the club as the Tiger’s primary play-by-play announcer in the 2024 season, and while he hasn’t been around long—he was with the White Sox before coming to Detroit—he has become […]
Josue Briceño undergoes surgery on his right wrist
The Detroit Tigers’ fourth ranked prospect, slugging catcher and first baseman Josue Briceño was reported to be dealing with right wrist inflammation on Monday, March 2. Unfortunately, testing revealed an underlying issue that required surgery on a tendon. The 21-year-old, currently ranked the 63rd best prospect in baseball per FanGraphs, could miss from months to […]
Prospects Cris Rodriguez and Jordan Yost to debut in Spring Breakout game
The Tigers’ roster for their Spring Breakout game on March 20, featuring top prospects in a battle of farm systems, was released on Thursday. There aren’t too many big surprises, but two names in particular caught our eye immediately. 2025 first round pick, shortstop Jordan Yost, will make his public debut for the Tigers in […]
Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospects #22: RHP Ty Madden
We generally cut our prospect rankings off when a player turns 26 but as right-hander Ty Madden has just a small amount of major league experience and missed his age 25 season with a strained rotation cuff that took longer than hoped to rehabilitate, we’ll make an exception. Long an interesting starting pitcher prospect with […]
Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospects #23: RHP Michael Massey
In our group of 40+ FV prospects, there are a quite a few young pitchers that we’re just in a holding pattern with. Like out 23rd ranked prospect, right-hander Michael Massey, it’s a talented group of young arms, but just about all of them have been sidelined with injury since joining the pro ranks. That’s […]

Tigers Topics: Who will be Detroit’s best pitcher (besides Skubal) in 2026?
Spring training is in full swing as the Detroit Tigers prepare for their 2026 campaign, locked and reloaded for another run to the playoffs, and hopefully, a World Series ring. Sure, the team is just 2-6 so far, but these games do not matter… yet. A great deal of the optimism heading into the season […]
Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospects #24: C/1B Eduardo Valencia
One of the most fun things about covering the minor leagues and prospects is when a previously unheralded player suddenly puts it together and goes nuts. Eduardo Valencia wasn’t even a mention on most prospect rankings the past few years as injuries, struggles at the plate, and slow defensive development left him looking like an […]
Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospects #25: RHP Rayner Castillo
A year ago, young right-hander Rayner Castillo was one of the fastest rising players in the system. In 2025, he spun his wheels at the High-A level, suffering from some uncharacteristic wildness and more erratic velocity. He continued to rack up ground balls, but the contact got louder and the whiffs dried up a bit. […]

Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospect reports #26: OF Brett Callahan
Outfielder Brett Callahan hasn’t gotten much national notice, and isn’t yet tracking like a future major leaguer. However, his potential makes him quite interesting, and he’s already making noise in spring camp. If there’s a hitter in the Tigers’ system who could follow Kerry Carpenter’s path as an unheralded left-handed college outfielder who ends up […]
Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospect reports #27: OF Jackson Strong
There’s a wide gap between the Detroit Tigers top two outfield prospects and the rest of the farm system’s outfielders. Max Clark is a top 10 prospect in the game on most rankings and closing in on the major leagues. Teenager Cris Rodriguez is second ranked in the outfield, but is still anticipating his first […]
Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospect reports #28: RHP Moises Rodriguez
This right-hander is arguably the Detroit Tigers’ top pure relief prospect. While the Tigers have a clutch of starting pitcher prospects ranked more highly, such as Jake Miller, Andrew Sears, and Kelvis Salcedo, who might ultimately be best converted to bullpen arms at the major league level, Rodriguez could be on the fast track to […]
