MLB News: WBC Final Team Venezuela, Miguel Cabrera, Shohei Ohtani, Gerrit Cole
Tuesday night we saw two powerhouse teams go head to head in the World Baseball Classic Final as Team USA and Team Venezuela squared off to see who could call themselves best in the world. Team USA was always going to be a juggernaut, but Venezuela beat out several other teams that were predicted to […]
Tigers 1, Orioles 1: Justin Verlander pitched well, and everybody left somewhat happy
* cracks knuckles * Well, here goes, the first recap of the 2026 season, even though these games don’t count for anything other than an intellectual exercise. On a windy St. Patrick’s Day, cool for central Florida in March — a laughable sentiment for those of us dealing with snow — a meaningless game ended […]

There are new rule changes coming to MiLB in 2026
More rule changes are coming to baseball — sort of. On Monday, FanGraphs’ Eric Longenhagen reported the details of a document circulating in MLB front offices that is to be passed down to managers and coaches throughout each organization. Minor League Baseball will pilot several more new rule changes during the 2026 season, some of […]

Bless You Boys 2026 Detroit Tigers prospects #6: SS Jordan Yost
We don’t generally go out of order with our spring prospect reports, but the timing is too good for Jordan Yost. The Detroit Tigers first round pick last summer stepped to the plate for his first at-bat as a professional on Sunday afternoon and made a little magic. The Tampa native had friends and family […]
AL Central preview: Kansas City Royals
In advance of the 2026 season, it’s time to take a look at Detroit’s biggest rivals. Rosters around the AL Central have experienced a lot of turnover this winter, especially in Chicago and Minnesota, and some under the radar trades have shored up the depth for the top-heavy KC Royals. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Guardians are […]
Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospects #14: SS/2B Franyerber Montilla
After an incredibly long drought of middle infielders since the days when Willy Adames and Eugenio Suarez were young Detroit Tigers shortstop prospects, a new golden era is upon us as the Tigers farm system is suddenly packed with middle infielders. This has been a clear focal point to the club’s revamped draft strategy in […]

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 […]
