The Detroit Tigers social media team couldn’t help but throw some shade towards fans of the New York Yankees. When it comes to fanbases, none is more virtually hated on than the New York Yankees.

The Cubs are actively shopping Willson Contreras, but what teams make the most sense as potential destinations? There’s a fluid free agent market at the catcher position this offseason, with JT Realmuto and James McCann leading the way. Realmuto is expected to reset the market at the position, though such a deal could price some
The Houston Astros are debating the unthinkable, and might trade away Carlos Correa. Per Ken Rosenthal’s reporting, Astros owner Jim Crane is reluctant to pay Correa the huge sum he’ll rightfully be asking for by next summer, when he becomes a free agent.

Detroit Tigers (Photo by Mark Cunningham/MLB Photos via Getty Images) The Tigers signed the top pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, Spencer Torkelson, to a record contract.

Detroit Tigers GM Al Avila (Photo by Mark Cunningham/MLB Photos via Getty Images) The Spencer Torkelson hype train shouldn’t have to wait until the 2021 season.

When the Detroit Tigers make the No. 1 selection in the 2020 MLB Draft, it’s likely going to be one of two players, Arizona State’s Spencer Torkelson or Vanderbilt’s Austin Martin.

The Chicago Cubs added an interesting piece to their lineup down to the wire at the trade deadline, getting Nick Castellanos from the Tigers. The Chicago Cubs seemed set to hit the stretch run as currently constructed. But down to the wire at the 4 p.m. ET trade deadline on Wednesday, according to Ken Rosenthal
The Detroit Tigers have struggled to reset and rebuild, but two opportunities to accelerate that effort were apparently turned down. At 32-75 entering Monday, the Detroit Tigers are headed for 100 losses after losing 98 games in both 2017 and 2018. They were a trade deadline seller again this year, parting with Nick Castellanos and
Nick Castellanos vented some frustration about Comerica Park on Sunday, and thus basically asked the Detroit Tigers to trade him. As part of his 3-for-5 day, Nick Castellanos hit a walk-off home run on Sunday to give the Detroit Tigers a win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The Tigers are still just 13-34 at home
Nick Castellanos is in the final year of his contract, and least in regard to a extension with Tigers he seems to think it matters what position he plays. Entering Saturday’s action Nick Castellanos has a .260/.316/.446 slash-line this season, with seven home runs, 24 RBI and an AL-leading 21 doubles. Since the start of

Miguel Cabrera got his 2,700th career hit earlier this week, but he has also seemed to acknowledge a fading chance at getting to 3,000 hits. On Wednesday night against the Boston Red Sox, Miguel Cabrera got the 2,700th hit of his career. He’s the 69th player in MLB history to reach that hit plateau, and
Miguel Cabrera will miss the rest of the season with a ruptured bicep tendon, and here are five replacements options off the waiver wire in your fantasy baseball league. After a down year in 2017 (.249/.329/.399, 16 home runs, 60 RBI over 529 plate appearances), Miguel Cabrera missed basically the entire month of May with
The Detroit Tigers are off to a surprising start, but even with questions about the sustainability of it these five prospects could arrive this season. Entering Wednesday’s action, the Detroit Tigers have a 7-4 record this season. The starting rotation has been the driving force, with a 2.45 collective ERA (third-best in baseball) despite being
