FAN FEEDBACK.
Totally Tigers

As we continue to recover from the holidays, this is the perfect day for our readers to submit blog ideas to Totally Tigers.
What topics do you want to see covered in the coming months?
Your requests don’t have to be only about the Tigers. Here are just a few ideas you may want to consider:
  • The changes happening within Front Office departments.
  • TV broadcast rights and payroll.
  • Team building strategies.
  • MLB’s proposed changes to the game.
  • What is happening within the farm system.
  • Comparing team payrolls.
Of course, we will continue to dig into the team and roster. But we’re also looking for some specific blog topics you’d like to see addressed.
And if you see someone’s topic posted and are excited to see it addressed, please click their “like” (the star underneath their comment) button.
Ready, set, go!

RUMORS CAN BE REAL.
Totally Tigers

Around this time of the year, there are rumors. And then there are rumors.
It’s the latter that is our focus today.
When I hear a rumor, I look first to the source to determine its possible legitimacy. Only established publications and writers get my attention. If it’s a solid rumor, I store this in my memory bank. Then I wait to see if someone else writes about it.
Sometimes, it’s the agent or his/her people who are attempting to create interest and thus, a nice contract. Especially just before the Winter Meetings that often kick off the Hot Stove season in earnest. So you have to be careful.
But when you hear the same rumor from 3 different solid sources, you need to pay attention.
And that’s what I was doing over the past week....

I think her hate for Tork is really showing here. Arenado just began his downward turn offensively, and the defense will follow. He'll be 34 next year. It's a no for me.
 
I'm hearing rumors of JD Martinez coming back to DET. is this just BS?
 
Nolan Arenado’s contract just isn’t a good fit for the Detroit Tigers.
There was a time when trading for the veteran third baseman would’ve been an exciting development, but that time is past.

Tigers could have unique advantage if they want to explore Nolan Arenado trade.

Through the years, some of these stories I completely disagree with, but need to be posted so I don't look like
I am biased one way or another.

Yesterday’s blog was about the multiple rumors concerning Spencer Torkelson’s tenuous future with the Tigers and why it might make sense for the team to move on.

Torkelson just completed his 3rd year with the team however he’s been sent down to Toledo each of the last 2 years. There are concerns about both his defense and offense.
He had a couple promising months at the end of 2023 but noticeably regressed in 2024. The Tigers once again have mapped out a specific program for him to follow during this off-season.
So what do you think? Is it time to move on or should Tork be given a little longer leash?

Is it time for the Tigers to move on from Spencer Torkelson?

1. No, it's way too soon to make any decision about moving him.

2. Not just yet. He's still young and learning so give him a little more time to prove himself during the 2025 season.

3. Yes, he's had 3 years already and it's time to move on.
