Tigers win the series against the best of the NL

The two best teams in baseball locked up for a 3-game series at Comerica Park and the Detroit Tigers emerged victorious again. They took the first behind a fantastic pitching outing from Tarik Skubal. The Cubs struck back on Saturday, smacking five home runs to beat up on Tyler Holton and Keider Montero. The rubber match would be a battle between a veteran and a rookie, as both pitchers tried to keep the...

Scores, news, and notes from the Detroit Tigers’ farm system for Saturday, June 7, 2025.

Nick Margevicius threw a good game but the Clippers were able to stretch out a pair of runs against the Hens bullpen to take a four to one lead in the series.

The Hens started out looking like they were going to do damage. With one out, Justyn-Henry Malloy walked and then stole second. Jace Jung doubled him in and Andy Ibáñez singled off the...

Tarik Skubal Continues to Make History in Quest for Second Straight Cy Young

Another historical start is in the books for Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal. The southpaw is looking to become the first American League pitcher since Pedro Martinez to win back-to-back Cy Young Awards, and he seems well on his way to doing so.

Cubs 6, Tigers 1: Cubbies crush five homers to even series

This was not a good day for the Tigers on the mound or at the plate.

The Tigers bats were lifeless on Saturday while it was the Cubs turn to hit the home runs. They did so, mashing five taters to cruise to a series evening victory.

Keider Montero’s weakness has generally been getting his command dialed in early in a start. Tyler Holton has struggled coming in to hold leads in the later innings. A reasonable solution was to open with Holton against the...

Tigers prospect Bryce Rainer (shoulder) out for season

Bryce Rainer to undergo season ending shoulder surgery

Scores, news, and notes from the Detroit Tigers’ farm system for Friday, June 7, 2025.

Friday on the farm did not start off well as it was revealed that fast-rising Detroit Tigers prospect Bryce Rainer suffered a dislocation of his right shoulder diving back to first base on Tuesday night. The injury caused enough damage to the young shortstop that he’ll need surgery and will miss the rest of the regular season.

The Tigers and Rainer sought multiple opinions on the injury before opting...

Tigers 3, Cubs 1: Skubal leads the Tigers to a win to open series

And the new guy made quite a splash.

Yesterday the Tigers left Chicago, and today, they invited a Chicago team to meet them at Comerica Park. The team they just left, the White Sox, is arguably one of the worst in the American League right now. The one coming to Detroit, the Cubs, has the best record in the NL Central, and in fact nearly the same record as the Tigers. The White Sox gave the Tigers some unexpected troubles in the split series, so Detroit are hoping...

Tigers designate Akil Baddoo for assignment

The Tigers announced that they have designated outfielder Akil Baddoo for assignment. That’s the corresponding 40-man move for the club to select Jahmai Jones, a move that was reported earlier today.

Gleyber Torres Was Exactly What the Detroit Tigers Needed

There was no secret around the league as to what the Detroit Tigers needed last winter. A lineup stacked with lefty bats needed a righty stick to help balance the order and protect against tough southpaws.

Friday Open Thread: Who was the best Tigers’ catcher of all time?

Malcolm Emmons-Imagn Images

They’ve had some great ones.

A few weeks ago, I proposed the question, in another open thread, asking who you thought the best Tigers’ pitcher of all time was. Your answers were as delightfully varied as expected, and in that thread, I promised we would continue with the other positions.

So in our open thread today, we’re asking who you think the greatest Tigers’ catcher of all time was. Now, I am a noted fan of Alex Avila, and could wax poetic about his...
