Your 2026 Rawlings Gold Glove Award Winner - AL Catcher - Dillon Dingler #RawlingsGoldGloveAwards

The #Tigers have a 40-man roster crunch. Four players need to be cut by 5 p.m. Monday. Here are the 10 players most at risk of losing their roster spots — and my prediction for the four cuts: youtu.be/mUNSN35Ye1c?is=QmSZ…

Gleyber Torres is a free agent after ranking 28th among 205 position players with a .364 on-base percentage in the 2026 season. Is there a contract that makes sense for the #Tigers to bring him back? - Two years, $40 million: Too much? - One year, $20 million: Worth considering? - One year, $15 million: Hard to pass up? Why Hao-Yu Lee changes the equation: youtu.be/-Viy2__tt74?si=PbCR…

The #Tigers made their first trade of the offseason, acquiring Tsung-Che Cheng from the Red Sox. He fits what Scott Harris wants to address: defense, speed and depth up the middle, plus he gets on base. On Cheng, the 40-man roster and the projected cuts: youtu.be/tP1SG9c5rGY?si=AhdZ…

Kenley Jansen posted a 3.20 ERA, allowed just 24 hits in 45 innings and closed the season with 12 straight appearances without an earned run. But he failed in high-leverage situations. Should the #Tigers pick up his $12 million club option? youtu.be/YYwiKQgPE4Q?is=eCmP…

Drew Anderson joined the rotation after the trade deadline and posted a 2.84 ERA across nine starts to finish the season, ranking 25th among 108 pitchers. But he had a 4.81 xERA. Should the #Tigers pick up his $10 million club option? youtu.be/Va9jHK3QEyU?si=DX1n…

The World Series is over. The offseason is officially underway. Breaking down the #Tigers' biggest roster decisions, including which players could be cut: youtu.be/pTA6HU7Z9vw?si=_HmE…

Max Clark is only 21 years old and under team control through the 2032 season. What would it cost to extend him right now? Eight years, $115 million? Here's why the #Tigers should consider getting ahead of the market: youtu.be/td3rnA5c1jI?is=-QWb…

Spencer Torkelson (March-August): - 135 games - .220 batting average - 20 home runs - .716 OPS Spencer Torkelson (September): - 24 games - .294 batting average - 6 home runs - 1.080 OPS What happens to Torkelson as other players push for opportunities at first base? That's for the #Tigers to figure out. youtu.be/2yPaW6LXl5s?si=rih2…

The #Tigers guaranteed $30 million to Kenley Jansen and Kyle Finnegan — and both became headliners of the bullpen problem in the 2026 season. Scott Harris can't miss on the next high-leverage relievers. Inside how the Jansen-Finnegan plan failed: youtu.be/eOjGfeyQ_tU?si=kZ3f…

Riley Greene will be 28 years old when he reaches free agency after the 2028 season. What would it cost the #Tigers to extend him right now? Six years, $150 million? Here's why it's probably too late for a contract extension: youtu.be/74HcXqdKFDw?si=Dd9G…

The #Tigers have two big needs this offseason: a right-handed-hitting outfielder and high-leverage relievers. Here are six free agents who could fit: youtu.be/hm1O3bS2k1s?is=kqUB…

Nick Raquet underwent Tommy John surgery in early October and might not pitch in games until the 2028 season, but the #Tigers still signed him. On his unusual baseball journey, one pitch that gives him upside and what to expect once he gets healthy: youtu.be/OqZ-dQfv8oU?si=yvrZ…

Martín Maldonado is a rising star in the coaching world — and now he's reunited with A.J. Hinch as the #Tigers' quality control coach. He also knows Framber Valdez better than almost anyone. Why this could be a sneaky-big hire: youtu.be/fXK3D4o0yWc?is=42d6…

Tarik Skubal is headed to free agency after the Dodgers were eliminated from the postseason. The #Tigers already cashed in by trading Skubal for three prospects. That means: - No Scott Boras vs. Scott Harris. - No $350 million question. - No emotional attachment. And that feels like a win: youtu.be/BN7YI9adxHA?is=03kR…

Kevin McGonigle was my MVP for the #Tigers in the 2026 season — but not my Rookie of the Year. I handed out eight player awards with one rule. Meet the winners: youtu.be/UPlPGJUw1Zs?is=_mRC…

Scott Harris has a long-term plan for the #Tigers' bullpen: Develop as many starters as possible, then let some of that depth become high-leverage relievers. One problem. That plan might not be ready in 2027. youtu.be/iz5_yOt2Mqo?si=mmvh…

The #Tigers have two Gold Glove finalists. Catcher: Dillon Dingler vs. Brandon Valenzuela (Blue Jays) and Austin Wells (Yankees) Utility: Zach McKinstry vs. José Caballero (Yankees) and Ezequiel Duran (Rangers) Here's how the finalists stack up: youtu.be/voP7Up72lls?si=-CQp…

We finally got our answer. The #Tigers say Troy Melton's medical evaluation found no issues, and he is beginning a normal offseason workout routine.
