Tyler Holton looks to build on his outstanding Tigers debut

Tyler Holton looks to build on his outstanding Tigers debut

Photo by Ron Jenkins/ The Tigers claimed Holton off waivers last March, and things couldn’t have gone any better. Can he repeat his 2023 dominance? When Tyler Holton was claimed off waivers the Tigers last spring, he came with a reputation as a low-powered lefty junkballer. He found himself finishing the season as one of Detroit's most trusted relievers. He's spent most of his pro career as a swingman and took on the mantle of long relief during his rookie season, but did so with rare effectiveness, eventually earning more high leverage work as the season progressed....

Know Your Orioles 40-man: Tyler Nevin

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/ Tyler Nevin is back in the Orioles system but don’t expect to see him on the big league team How he got here: Purchased from the Detroit Tigers on January 22, 2024. Why is he back? Your guess is as good as mine. You may remember Tyler Nevin. He first joined the Orioles in August 2020 when the team traded Mychal Givens to the Rockies. The return was Nevin and Terrin Vavra, two players who had stints with the Orioles but who weren’t able to stick. Vavra is still in the system but no longer on the 40-man and Nevin was claimed by the Tigers back...

An early look at seven 2024 MLB draft prospects who may interest the Tigers

An early look at seven 2024 MLB draft prospects who may interest the Tigers

Photo by Mary DeCicco/MLB Photos via Sure things will change, but right now this is how the draft is lining up for Detroit. The Detroit Tigers came away from the 2024 MLB Draft lottery with the 11th overall pick. The Tigers have selected in that range just once since tearing the team down to its studs, when they drafted Jace Jung with the 12th pick in 2022. After crawling out of the league's basement in 2023, Detroit wasn't poised to make a real run at a top pick and had just 1.6 percent odds of drafting first overall. Detroit had the tenth-worst record in MLB,...

Drew Anderson is earning a rare second chance at a big league career

Drew Anderson is earning a rare second chance at a big league career

Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK After two years overseas, the right-hander hopes for a second act with the Tigers. The Tigers signed Drew Anderson to a minor league deal in January, and almost no one paid attention. Based on his showing so far this spring, that may have been a real oversight. Detroit offered the career journeyman an invite to big league camp, and the 30-year-old veteran has really popped in his limited exposure so far. It's unusual for a non-roster invitee to get a season preview, but this is an unusual case. He's a different pitcher than we expected,...

Tigers claim infielder Buddy Kennedy, trade Andre Lipcius to the Dodgers

Tigers claim infielder Buddy Kennedy, trade Andre Lipcius to the Dodgers

Photo by Todd Kirkland/ Detroit claimed Kennedy off waivers, placed infielder Andre Lipcius on waivers, signed a relief prospect from the Frontier League, and then ultimately traded Lipcius. Let’s break it down. The Tigers under Scott Harris have a well-earned reputation as a restless organization, and with the spring well underway, they haven’t slowed down trying to improve around the edges. First, they signed pitching prospect Thomas Bruss to a minor league deal last Tuesday. Then, on Friday, they claimed infielder Buddy Kennedy off waivers from the Cardinals. To...

Casey Mize and a host of young Tigers pitchers started strong this spring

Kirthmon F. Dozier / USA TODAY NETWORK With a few more games under the Tigers’ belts, let’s see how the pitching staff is throwing so far. Now that all the Tigers starting pitchers have gotten their first outing in, and some their second, let’s circle back to see what Statcast can tell us about the quality of stuff we’re seeing. In the first part of this pair of articles, the main takeaway was that the Tigers pitchers had come to camp in game shape and velocity was up almost across the board from last year. Jack Flaherty, Joey Wentz, Beau Brieske, and several...

Friday Open Thread: Pick your favorite player of the season

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/ Yes, it’s too soon, but this will be fun later. Before we start the season, we’ll have another open thread where you can make your bold predictions for how the Tigers will play in 2024, but for today, with spring training games underway and the roster pretty much set, we thought we’d try a different kind of prediction. Considering we’ve barely seen (or even heard) much of the Tigers’ pre-season so far, it should be impossible to pick a stand-out player as our favorite of the coming season. But that’s precisely what we want you to do in...
