December 24 in Tigers and mlb history:

1905: The Cleveland Naps traded Red Donahue to the Detroit Tigers for Happy Townsend.

1927: The St. Louis Browns traded a player to be named later, Harry Rice, Elam Vangilder and a player to be named to the Detroit Tigers for Lu Blue and Heinie Manush. The St. Louis Browns sent Chick Galloway (December 24, 1927) to the Detroit Tigers to complete the trade.

1949: Hall of Fame pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander is found lying unconscious in an alley in Hollywood, CA. The great Old Pete, who was elected to the HOF in 1938, is suffering from epilepsy and is missing one of his ears. He will die from liver disease less than a year later.

1967: While skiing at Lake Tahoe, Boston Red Sox pitcher Jim Lonborg tears the ligaments in his left knee. Lonborg, who posted a 22-9 record with 246 strikeouts and a 3.49 ERA and received the Cy Young Award, will pitch 12 more seasons in the major leagues, but will not again reach double digits in wins until 1971.

1969: In a letter to Commissioner Bowie Kuhn, traded St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Curt Flood states his refusal to report to the Philadelphia Phillies citing he is not a piece of property to be sold. The MLB Players Association announces it supports Flood's suit against baseball and will pay his legal fees.

1974: St. Louis Cardinals speedster Lou Brock is named Sportsman of the Year by The Sporting News. He finishes ahead of such sports luminaries as tennis great Jimmy Connors, golfer Johnny Miller, and Dodgers ironman reliever Mike Marshall.

1990: The Montreal Expos trade longtime leadoff man Tim Raines to the Chicago White Sox for OF Ivan Calder?n and P Barry Jones. In 12 seasons with the Expos, the future hall of famer Raines batted .301 and stole 634 bases, the most in franchise history.

1995: The Detroit Sunday Journal reports the Tigers are spending maintenance funds on pizza pans while reducing repairs at Tiger Stadium.

2002: In a deal which prompts a Boston Red Sox official to call the New York Yankees an "evil empire", Cuban defector Jose Contreras agrees to terms on a four-year contract with New York.

2013: The Detroit Tigers signed Kevin Russo as a free agent.

December 25 in Tigers and mlb history:

1856: Pitcher James Francis (Pud) Galvin, a future Hall of Fame member, is born in St. Louis, Missouri. Galvin will win 364 games in a 15-year career, including two 46-win seasons.

1862: A crowd of 40,000 watches two teams of imprisoned Union Army soldiers play baseball at Hilton Head, South Carolina. Civil War historians are debating the actual size of the crowd.

1888: At the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society, on the Pennsylvania State Fair Buildings and Grounds located at Broad Street & Lehigh Avenue in Philadelphia, the Downtowners beat the Uptowners in the first sanctioned indoor baseball game ever played, 6 - 1, before a crowd of 2,000.

1922: On their tour of the Far East, the Herb Hunter All-Americans, with Casey Stengel and Waite Hoyt among their members, beat a team of U.S. servicemen, 12 - 5, in Manila.
In other games, the All-Americans are the first team of major leaguers to play a Chinese team, in Shanghai, and also play a Korean all-star team in Seoul, whipping them, 21 - 3.
The American all-stars also lost a game in Japan when Zensuke Shimada hit an out-of-the-park home run against Hoyt and the Mita Club defeated the All-Americans, 9 - 3. Michimaro Ono got the win. It is the first loss by a team of touring U.S professionals in Japan.

1927: Nellie Fox, who will lead the American League in hits four times, win three Gold Gloves, play in 12 All-Star Games, and become American League MVP for the 1959 Chicago White Sox, is born in St. Thomas, Pennsylvania. It will not be until 1997, 23 years after his death, that he will finally be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

1957: With the backing of United States Representatives Kenneth Keating and Emanuel Celler, the minor league executives urge that Major League Baseball compensate them for infringement on their territorial rights.

1958: Rickey Henderson is born in Chicago, Illinois. Henderson will break into the major leagues with the Oakland Athletics in 1979, and will go on to become one of the greatest leadoff men in history before being elected to the Hall of Fame in 2009.

The Tigers aren?t actively looking to move staff ace Matthew Boyd, who still has three years of team control remaining. With the free agent market for starting pitching drying up, however, it?s natural to wonder if the teams who lost out on the top hurlers could reengage the Tigers on one of baseball?s prime trade candidates.
One such team is the Angels, who have added Dylan Bundy and Julio Teheran to their rotation, but still have room to upgrade. The club is monitoring the trade market, but the Angels and Tigers haven?t had any recent discussions on Boyd. Of course, there?s ample time for the sides to recommence talks regarding the 28-year-old, who ranked 11th among starters (minimum 100 innings) in strikeout minus walk rate in 2019.
