FIVE FOR FRIDAY.
Totally Tigers

Things are getting ready to heat up in baseball. The World Series ended just 3 weeks ago, followed by a mandatory “quiet period” in which teams could make no moves outside of their organization. And during the week of awards, MLB requests that teams not interrupt the proceedings.
It all started in earnest on November 5th, 2.5 weeks ago. Teams are currently focusing on getting their rosters in order, determining their needs. Trades and signings will happen soon.
On November 4, contract options were picked up – or not. The Tigers, as expected, did not pick up Casey Mize’s $3.1 mill option and he will return to the regular arbitration process.

For the first time in years, no players had opt out contracts with Detroit.
As well, the 4th was the day for qualifying offers to be made. The Tigers had no players who were eligible.
It is this time of year that is crucial to building the roster. Here are the dates to keep in mind as we follow Scott Harris’ moves.

GIVING THANKS – Part One.
Totally Tigers

We’re giving thanks this week. And if you think about it, Detroit Tiger fans have been hard-pressed to find things to be grateful about until this year.
But all of that is going to change starting today and running through tomorrow.
We’re going to look back over the past year and think about what we were grateful to see about the Tigers.
But there’s a hitch – as there always is here at Totally Tigers. You didn’t think we’d let you skate by and mail it in, did you?
Today, we’d like for you to consider this question:
What 1 episode, development, goal, vision, etc. were you most grateful to see during this 2024 season?
We’re asking that you not name people today. That exercise will happen tomorrow.
We’re looking for a singular event, a progression of some type, the checking off of boxes, reaching a goal, etc. It can be about the franchise overall, a department, offensive/pitching/defense achievement, etc.
Please identify the event/area and tell us in 3 sentences or less why you picked it for giving thanks.
