The Tigers have claimed OF T.J. Hopkins off waivers from San Francisco.To make room on the 40-man roster, LHP Kolton Ingram has been designated for assignment.
Hopkins is 26, RHB and hit .308/.411/.514 in AAA last year.He plays corner OF and will probably be in the competition for the last roster spot.

Tigers take flier on vet Hiura; Hinch delivers speech
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Four years have passed since Keston Hiura's promising rookie season with the Brewers in 2019. He has hit .205 in 200 Major League games since then, with more than twice as many strikeouts (273) as hits (128), and he did not play in the big leagues last

Unwilling to settle, Tork not satisfied after '23
LAKELAND, Fla. -- The cloud cover finally lifted over Joker Marchant Stadium after rain drenched the Tigers’ Spring Training complex for the better part of 36 hours. Many practice fields were too soggy for fielding drills, but they were just fine for players to take batting practice, allowing...

How 10 teams can defy their playoff odds in '24
Last year's World Series matchup between the Rangers and D-backs is a reminder that anything can happen once the players actually take the field. The preseason projections didn't give either team a particularly good chance of reaching the postseason in 2023, much less going all the way to the Fall

Less-Heralded Hitting Prospects I Like in 2024

February 21 in Tigers and mlb history:
1903: Tom Yawkey is born in Detroit, Michigan. Born under the name Thomas Austin, Yawkey will own and operate the Boston Red Sox for 44 years. He will gain Hall of Fame election in 1980.
1904: The New York Highlanders purchased Deacon McGuire from the Detroit Tigers.
1917: Phillies sign ace right-handed Grover Cleveland Alexander to a two-year, $25k contract, a big-league record for pitchers. ?Old Pete? had won 160 games for Phillies over his first six seasons and that year would win 30+ for a third straight season.
1931: The Chicago White Sox and the New York Giants become the first major league teams to meet in a night game. They collect 23 hits in a 10-inning exhibition game played at Buffs Stadium in Houston, TX.
1951: The South Carolina House introduced a resolution urging that "Shoeless Joe" Jackson (in color here in 1920) be reinstated. In 2020 MLB shifted its policy to "the league has no hold on banned players after they die."
1957: Brooklyn Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley trades minor league franchises with Phil Wrigley of the Chicago Cubs. Brooklyn gives up its Ft. Worth club (Texas League) in return for the Los Angeles Angels (Pacific Coast League). In a year's time, Brooklyn will be without a team and Los Angeles will be a major league city.
1958: Happy Birthday to Hall of Famer Alan Tramell, born this day in Garden Grove, CA.

1966: Emmett Ashford is hired by the American League becoming the first African American umpire in the major leagues.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FMD2h6PX...g&name=360x360
1968: Major League Baseball owners and the Players Association sign the first "Basic Agreement" in the game's history. The agreement will serve as a working contract between players and owners, dictating the working relationship between the two sides along with financial rules and parameters.
1969: Hall of Famer Ted Williams makes a return to baseball by signing a five-year contract to manage the Washington Senators. Williams will lead the Senators to their best record ever, a mark of 86-76, and be named American League Manager of the Year.
1974: New York Mets pitcher Tom Seaver becomes the highest-paid player in major league history signing a one-year contract worth $172,500. In 1973, Seaver won 19 games while leading the National League in ERA.
1983: The Detroit Tigers signed Dave Revering as a free agent.
1985: New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner gives manager Yogi Berra the dreaded vote of confidence. Steinbrenner says that Berra will remain Yankee skipper for the entire season, regardless of how badly the team might struggle. Berra will last only 16 games before being fired.
1985: Tim Raines is awarded a $1.2 million salary for 1985 by arbitrator John Roberts. This is the largest award to date through the salary arbitration process. The 25-year-old Raines hit .309 for the Montreal Expos last season and led all major league players with 75 stolen bases.
2000: The Cincinnati Reds announce the team has dropped its ban on earrings but denies that the acquisition of Ken Griffey, Jr. is the reason. Players have worn them in the clubhouse, but weren't allowed on the field with them.
2006: Gene Elston is selected by the Hall of Fame to receive the Ford C. Frick Award. During his 47 years in the broadcast booth, the former Houston Astros announcer brought a no-nonsense approach to reporting the happenings on the diamond.
2007: The Detroit Tigers signed Timo Perez as a free agent.
2011: Bryce Harper, the first overall pick in the 2010 amateur draft, creates a stir on his first day at the Washington Nationals camp in Viera, FL. He hits nothing but hard line drives in his first batting practice session, then is mobbed by autograph-seekers as he tries to leave the field. Harper has yet to make his minor league debut, but observers are already wondering how quickly he will make it to the big leagues.
2012: The Cubs and Red Sox finally agree on compensation for the Cubs' hiring of Boston GM Theo Epstein to be their team President while Epstein was still under contract earlier this off-season. The Cubs agree to send pitcher Chris Carpenter to the BoSox, and the two teams will also exchange players to be named later to complete the deal.
2023: The Detroit Tigers signed Ashton Goudeau as a free agent.

Exactly 1 year ago, PoBO Scott Harris was just taking over the Tigers. Fans did not know much about him yet.
He had spent the previous 3 months brooming much of the organization and systematically giving the roster a full edit.
When he took over, there were big question marks at catcher, first base, third base, shortstop, right field, etc. This season, the positional questions are much fewer.
During the first year of his tenure, the Tigers won 12 more games than in 2022 and finished in 2nd place.
The first time since 2016 but they were still under .500.
What is the level of confidence you currently have about the direction of the team going into 2024?
How confident are you about the team's direction going into the 2024 season?
1. Very confident.
2. Somewhat confident.
3. Not sure.
4. Little confidence.

Riley Greene faced a real, live pitcher today for the first time since last September.
His 2023 season ended with Tommy John surgery.
"I didn't even think about my arm. I feel normal...I wasn't nervous. I wasn't breathing hard. I was just ready to get in the box."
Greene said he's been feeling "normal" for a long time now, although he officially still appears on the injured list. He said all that remains is box-checking.
"I'm going to do everything by the book."
