Just being able to write about the Detroit Tigers and any sort of realistic shot at making the playoffs is so refreshing, when such thoughts have been non existent for the past five years, basically since former owner Mike Ilitch passed away. But here we are, with the much heralded prospects arriving in the major leagues and the team actually…

It's time for the Rule 5 Draft! An exciting draft where teams attempt to find hidden gems to add to their MLB roster for the upcoming season. Because of the new CBA the regular MLB Draft now has a lottery system. However the Rule 5 Draft order is still reverse standings from the previous year. That means the Tigers have the 6th pick. Most of you…

With Opening Day right around the corner, it's important to get ahead of as many predictions as possible. At least, it's more fun that way. Think about it like this: Just a few weeks ago, we weren't sure when we might watch Major League Baseball again. Here we are after every major free-agent signing and plenty of marquee trades, with a decent look…

Back on the winning side! We were one strike away from a perfect 3-0 leather jacket today. The Astros decided that Ryan Pressly was the best man to close out the ninth off an injury. He wasn't; he left a hanging curveball that was launched into the seats to tie the game up. We lost on the spread, but our other picks BANGED. I said yesterday the…

Baseball, more than any other major sport, is unpredictable. The season is a marathon and with injuries and regression always remaining a possibility, the crystal ball stays cloudy most of the time. This was especially true for the Detroit Tigers, who brought in some veteran help like Javier Baez, Eduardo Rodriguez, and Tucker Barnhart, but they…

What was once billed a year of progress, is a huge disappointment, as the team took multiple steps backwards.With a new GM on the way, much is still to be determined, but since writing about the 2022 Tigers sucks the life out of my soul, let's take a look at my semi realistic but ideal 2023 Detroit Tigers lineup. Let's start with the top, there is…

With another baseball season beginning, it's time for our baseball writers to weigh in with their boldest and best predictions. What team are poised to surprise? Which players will break out?

The Detroit Tigers will head into the 2022 season with the hopes of capitalizing on a weak division after going 77-85 in 2021. They possess a young roster and added a few veteran pieces this offseason with the hopes to flip into "win-now" mode. Doc's Sports offers MLB expert picks for every game on our baseball predictions page. Notable…

The New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers will square off in a Spring Training game at the Tigers' spring home Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, Florida. Both teams are wrapping up their Spring Training and getting ready for Opening Day 2022. What should fans expect from both teams in this matchup? The New York Yankees are coming…

Although the Tigers finished last in the AL Central in 2020 for the third time in four years, there was ample evidence of a corner slowly being turned - whether in the arrival of a quartet of prospects (pitchers Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal, infielder Isaac Paredes, and outfielder Daz Cameron), the breakouts of Willi Castro and Jeimer Candelario or…

Light can now be seen at the end of the tunnel for the Tigers. A brutal rebuild that has led to seven seasons without a playoff appearance on the heels of four straight division titles is finally starting to pay off. Detroit's 77 wins last season were the second-most in that seven-year span, trailing only the 2016 season that felt like the team's…

Drew Hutchison's exit from the Detroit Tigers' roster happened so fast that we didn't even have a chance to include him on the "really vulnerable" list for this offseason. Nothing against Hutchison, who was second on the Tigers' in innings pitched in 2022, but there was little doubt that he would be off the roster by the first week in the…

And so another Detroit Tigers season comes to a close. This wraps up the fourth season we've been doing this newsletter and, well, we certainly can't say there's been a pattern. 2019, with its mere 47 wins (and the very real shot at the AL loss record), was just a six-month dumpster fire. (Though that might be unkind to dumpster fires, which at…

For the first time in a long time, Detroit Tigers fans are ready to ring in a new year with optimism. Or well-founded optimism, anyway. Unfortunately, this is the first time in an even longer time that Major League Baseball and its players are engaged in a labor dispute leading to a work stoppage. No one knows how long the lockout will last, but…

DETROIT -- Aaron Civale returned to the Guardians' rotation Wednesday night after spending almost a month on the injured list with a sore right wrist. The offense welcomed him back with a minimal amount of support. Fortunately, the bullpen was more giving as the Guardians beat Detroit, 3-2, for their fourth straight win. The Guards moved into first…
