Timothy Huff MD+FollowTigers target veteran arms for pitching boostDetroit’s front office is making moves that could shake up the Tigers’ rotation, eyeing four experienced pitchers in free agency. With Tarik Skubal’s future still uncertain, the team is especially interested in Nick Martinez, who’s shown versatility as both a starter and reliever. Chris Bassitt and Jose Quintana bring reliability and innings, while Lucas Giolito offers high-upside potential after his comeback season. Adding one of these arms could mean more stability and depth for Detroit’s pitching staff. What do you think—should the Tigers go all-in on a veteran, or keep developing their young talent? #Sports #Baseball #DetroitTigers00Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowTigers add outfield depth with Corey JulksDetroit just picked up Corey Julks on a minor league deal, and while he might not be a household name, his experience could be a game-changer if injuries hit the Tigers’ outfield again. Last year, Detroit’s outfield was stretched thin, so having someone like Julks—who’s proven himself in Triple-A and has a solid big-league stint—could be huge. He’ll likely start in Triple-A, but don’t be surprised if he’s called up. What do you think—could Julks end up making a real impact for the Tigers this season? #Sports #Baseball #DetroitTigers00Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowTigers, Skubal, and a $13M standoffDetroit’s ace Tarik Skubal and the Tigers are locked in a contract showdown with a jaw-dropping $13 million gap in arbitration numbers—the largest ever. Skubal’s agent, Scott Boras, says they’re ready to keep talking, but the Tigers are sticking to their old-school ways and shutting down negotiations until the hearing. This could be the last season we see Skubal in a Tigers uniform, and it’s raising big questions about how Detroit values its stars. How do you feel about the team’s hardline stance? Should they bend to keep their ace, or is it time to move on? #Sports #Baseball #DetroitTigers00Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowDetroit’s future rides on Skubal decisionLosing Tarik Skubal could flip the Tigers’ playoff hopes upside down. Detroit’s ace, fresh off back-to-back Cy Young wins, is locked in a record-breaking arbitration standoff with the team—Skubal wants $32 million, Detroit’s offering $19 million. That $13 million gap is the biggest ever for a pitcher. Meanwhile, trade rumors swirl around Javier Baez, whose big contract and underwhelming stats complicate things further. With spring training around the corner, Detroit’s front office faces a high-stakes choice: pay up to keep their star or risk a rebuild. How do you think this plays out for the Tigers? #Sports #Baseball #DetroitTigers00Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowDetroit’s Lou Whitaker: Still the Hall’s Biggest MissLou Whitaker’s legacy with the Detroit Tigers is undeniable—19 seasons, Rookie of the Year, multiple Gold Gloves and Silver Sluggers, and a crucial role in the 1984 World Series win. Yet, despite ranking among the best second basemen in MLB history, Whitaker remains outside the Hall of Fame. It’s wild to think players with lesser stats have made it in, while ‘Sweet Lou’ is still waiting. The Tigers retired his number, but for many fans, Cooperstown still feels incomplete without him. What do you think—should Whitaker finally get his due? #Sports #Baseball #DetroitTigers00Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowDetroit’s most legendary Tigers free agentsDetroit fans know the Tigers aren’t famous for flashy free agent signings, but a few players have truly left their mark. Ivan “Pudge” Rodríguez brought Hall of Fame energy behind the plate, while Darrell Evans powered the lineup in the ‘80s. Cecil Fielder was the face of the franchise in the ‘90s, and Magglio Ordóñez delivered clutch hits in the 2000s. Each of these stars arrived as free agents and became icons in Detroit. Which signing do you think made the biggest impact? Or is there another Tiger you’d add to this Mount Rushmore? Let’s hear your picks! #Sports #Baseball #DetroitTigers00Share
Renee Ramirez+FollowTigers bring back Bryan Sammons for bullpen boostDetroit’s bullpen just got a little deeper with the return of Bryan Sammons, who’s back on a minor league deal after a solid season in Japan. Sammons showed promise in his short MLB stint with the Tigers, and now he’s got a shot to earn a spot in spring training. With A.J. Hinch’s creative pitching strategies and the constant need for reliable arms, Sammons could become a key long reliever when injuries hit. If his improvements overseas hold up, he might be one of the first call-ups this year. What do you think—will Sammons make an impact in Detroit’s bullpen? #Sports #Baseball #DetroitTigers00Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowDetroit Tigers break up with FanDuelBig shakeup for Detroit sports fans: the Tigers have ended their partnership with FanDuel Sports Network, joining a growing list of teams rethinking their sports betting deals. This move could change how fans interact with the game at Comerica Park and beyond, especially as more teams reconsider the role of gambling in sports. Are you surprised to see teams stepping back from these partnerships? What do you think this means for the future of sports and betting in Detroit? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Sports #Baseball #DetroitTigers20Share
Maria Chavez+FollowTigers’ pitching plans hinge on Skubal decisionDetroit’s offseason pitching puzzle just got more interesting. The Tigers are eyeing top free agents Lucas Giolito and Chris Bassitt to bolster their rotation, but everything rides on the outcome of Tarik Skubal’s arbitration case. If Detroit has to pay Skubal $32 million instead of $19 million, it could shut the door on adding another ace. Both Giolito and Bassitt would be huge upgrades, but the team’s willingness to spend is being tested. How do you feel about the Tigers’ approach—should they go all-in for 2026 or play it safe with their budget? #Sports #Baseball #DetroitTigers20Share
jillian59+FollowDetroit Tigers bet on local arm for bullpen boostDetroit’s bullpen just got a little more interesting—Michigan native Dugan Darnell is back with the Tigers, even though he’s still rehabbing from hip surgery. The team clearly sees potential, signing him to a minor league deal with a spring training invite. Darnell’s minor league numbers show he can rack up strikeouts, but his road to the majors will start in Triple-A once he’s healthy. If he bounces back strong, Detroit could have a homegrown bullpen weapon by midseason. What do you think—smart move for depth, or too risky with his injury? #Sports #Baseball #DetroitTigers00Share
