The big day is finally here as Major League Baseball officially opens up its 2024 schedule with a lengthy list of games — including the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago White Sox, who face off in the Windy City on Thursday afternoon.

Spring training baseball is done. It’s finally in the books. Meaningful baseball is set to be played tomorrow, and managers are now relieved they won’t have to have those difficult conversations with the players who did not make the team anymore.

We posted a predictions roundtable on Monday, but now on Opening Day, what do you think? Will the Tigers make the playoffs?
The Detroit Tigers finished the 2023 season with a mildly surprising second place finish, posting a winning record of 39-34 in the second half of the season and going 78-84 overall. A nine game losing streak in early June after a bad run of injuries pretty well crushed any hopes of a surprise run at the division. Still that...
Shelby Miller has made the Detroit Tigers Opening Day roster. Miller signed a one-year deal with Detroit in December. The 33-year-old did not see a lot of work in camp, but he was effective.

Ty Madden looks to be staying at Erie a while longer, while Wilmer Flores and Brant Hurter are the top two pitching prospects promoted.
When I previewed the 2024 Toledo Mud Hens roster the other day, we still had a couple of key roster questions. Those have mostly been answered as the Mud Hens unveiled their Opening Day roster for the season on Wednesday. They’ll start the 2024 season at home against the Nashville Sounds starting...

An annual tradition returns!
Hello Bless You Boys community! Here we are, once again, on the cusp of a brand new baseball season, and it seems like the ideal time to re-introduce ourselves to each other.
Many of us have been coming to BYB to share our love of the Detroit Tigers (or our frustrations with the team) for years, and while we don’t always comment, it’s nice to sometimes take an opportunity to let people know who we are and why we love...

Can’t wait to revisit these at the end of the year...
One of my favorite pre-season rituals is the opportunity to make some genuinely wild predictions for the upcoming year. Sometimes the crazier they are, the more often they seem to become reality.
We love to do this as a group for our annual roundtable discussion, but I figured it would also be fun to turn the crystal ball over to all of you and see what kind of predictions you have...

Riley is a budding superstar but he will need to put it all together if he wants to live up to the hype.
The 2024 season is nearly upon us so it's time to take a look at perhaps the key member of the Detroit Tigers youthful core. Patrolling left field on most nights will be the 23-year-old left-handed outfielder the Tigers selected with the 5th overall pick in 2019. Ever since he was drafted out of Hagerty High School, Riley Greene has carried with him a fairly...
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch believes two pitchers will be a valuable part of the strategy for the team this season.
Baseball season is upon us as opening day for 28 teams is this week. The 2024 season brings loftier expectations for a Tigers team that has a nice blend of young guns and veterans.

More importantly, the Tigers have better prospect depth at the Triple-A level to draw on this season than all but a few teams.
While this is a Toledo Mud Hens preview, it’s of course just a part of the Tigers story this season. We’ve written quite a bit about the prospect depth the Detroit Tigers have at their disposal throughout the offseason. The Tigers should have the pitching to compete, but entering the new season the offense...

Take a look at what the Bless You Boys staff thinks will happen with the Tigers and MLB this summer.
Another spring, another opening day coming up for the boys of summer. For those who have been waiting for the return of America’s pastime, the big day is nearly nigh.

Flaherty has always had an outstanding slider. The Tigers have helped him clean up his mechanics and improve his fastball, setting the stage for a good year.
We’ve learned a few things about new Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty this spring. The past 4-5 years he’s been a depth starter looking to recapture his earlier success, but until the Tigers signed him out of the blue, we hadn’t really looked that deeply into his peak years with the...

The outfielder’s first full season in the bigs was a success. Now he looks to refine his game to take the next step.
With the 2024 season now blessedly just days away, it’s time to look at a player who is perhaps being taken for granted this spring. Kerry Carpenter followed Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene to the major leagues late in 2022, and so far has surpassed them both with a very nice full season debut in 2023. Carpenter’s dangerous bat...
