Tigers 2021 Spring Training Schedule Invitees and News

Not only is veteran Julio Teheran hitting as high as 94 mph on the radar gun, but he got three strikeouts on his slider in his most-recent outing.
Said Teheran, ?My slider is the best it?s been in a while. The last time I felt my slider was like this was my 2016 All-Star season. That?s the kind of confidence I have right now. I feel like I can throw my pitches anytime I want. My command is there. Just a different game when you have everything working.? The Tigers will owe Teheran $3MM at minimum if he makes the team, so there is a financial component to audition.
Still, Detroit has an active payroll of only around $75MM, per Spotrac, and a projected luxury tax payroll of around $94MM. Fangraphs? estimates for those payroll numbers to be closer to $81MM and $100MM, respectively. In either case, the Tigers shouldn?t need worry about an extra few million if Terehan proves worthy of a rotation spot.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK.

It?s time again to hear from our readers! Today is the day to let us know what you?re thinking on a selected topic.
Sunday is the one day of the week where we open up the comment parameters for you so you can get those juices flowing.
Comments today can be expanded to a maximum of 8 sentences.
We can?t wait to get your thoughts on the following topic.

The Tigers used their Rule 5 draft pick on former Minnesota Twin, Akil Baddoo. He has never played above Single A ball in the minor leagues, yet has an intriguing skill set.
He is very disciplined at the plate while possessing raw power and speed. He is also a very good defensive outfielder with the ability to play all 3 positions.
But the Tigers? list of outfielders capable of heading north with the big club is not a small one and they will have some decisions to make.
So what will happen? Will Akil make the team?
