Detroit Tigers Minor League Notes Over 1 Million Views! Thank you!

MLB pipeline ranks Brady Smith 15th in the Tigers organization after he was acquired in the Tarik Skubal deal. He had Tommy John surgery a few years ago & has been slowly building up "It's good to finally start being able to turn lineups over".
 
A little context on our updated Tigers Top 35 Prospects list: five of us submitted individual rankings, and the combined voting determined the final order. Max Clark and Eduardo Valencia were not included because we don’t expect either to return to the minors anytime soon. With that in mind, Josue Briceño emerged as our new No. 1 prospect. The combination of his offensive upside, continued development and proximity to Detroit made him the choice at the top.
Full Top 35 coming tomorrow.
 
Most home runs by a 17-year-old Tigers prospect in the DSL:
Jose De La Cruz - 11 in 56G
Cris Rodriguez - 10 in 50G
Manuel Bolivar - 9 in 42G
Reylin Pérez - 7 in 47G
Randel Alcantara - 7 in 55G
Adinso Reyes - 7 in 62G
 
One prospect every MLB team should call up by September.
Whether it's to aid a playoff push or to audition for 2027, these prospects should all be in the majors by the time MLB rosters expand in September.

Tigers’ farm system must start rivaling Dodgers hype after clear-cut success stories.
Everyone talks about the Dodgers’ farm system, but the Tigers deserve some love.
