February 22 in Tigers and mlb history:

1921: The Cincinnati Reds trade P Jimmy Ring and OF Greasy Neale to the Philadelphia Phillies for lefty Eppa Rixey, who led the National League with 22 losses in 1920. Rixey will continue to pitch his way into the Hall of Fame over the next 13 years. Neale is also a future Hall of Famer - for football. He will play just 22 games in Philly before returning to the Reds.

1934: Hall of Famer Sparky Anderson was born this day in Bridgewater, SD.

1936: As thousands cheer on both sides of the river, 48 year-old Senator legend Walter Johnson throws a silver dollar to the far side of the Rappahannock, believed to be a 386-foot toss. The Washington, D.C. Sesquicentennial celebration, which includes commemorating the 204th anniversary of George Washington's birth, stages the event to duplicate the alleged feat that the young Virginian accomplished when he threw a silver dollar across the Potomac River.

1938: The Cardinals sign Texas Christian University All-American football star and Washington Redskins quarterback Sammy Baugh as a shortstop. He will start off with the Cards in spring training, but be assigned first to Columbus and then Rochester.

1945: At the major league meetings, the owners cancel the 1945 All-Star Game scheduled to be played at Boston's Fenway Park on July 10th. Even after the cancellation, schedule-makers leave the dates of July 9, 10 and 11 open in case circumstances change, permitting the game. In place of the All-Star Game, eight simultaneous games pitting the National League vs. the American League are to be played. Seven are played, with the 8th being cancelled.
Also approved is a rule change stating that a player needs 400 at bats to qualify for a batting title.

1957: Walter O'Malley says the Dodgers may play 10 exhibitions in California in 1958.

1984: Sparky Anderson celebrates his 50th birthday at spring training with a slice of cake. #Relive84

1989: The Detroit Tigers released Mark Huismann.

2005: Jerry Coleman, the San Diego broadcaster, is selected as the recipient of this year's Ford C. Frick Award. The 80-year old play-by-play man, who was the MVP of the 1950 World Series, has spent 41 years in the booth working for the Yankees, Angels and Padres.

2005: Tom Umberg, a California state assemblyman, introduces legislation which would require pro franchises to use disclaimers if they do not play the majority of home games in the location used in their name. With his "Truth in Sports Advertising Act", the Anaheim Democrat is trying prevent the local team from changing its name to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

2006: The Los Angeles Dodgers announce the team has extended the contract of Vin Scully through 2008. The Hall of Fame broadcaster, considered by many to be the best announcer in history, is beginning his 57th year in the Dodger organization, which is believed to be the longest tenure of any on-air individual in sports history.

2010: The Detroit Tigers signed Johnny Damon as a free agent.

2017: Major League Baseball adopts a significant rule change, as part of a strategy to speed up the game: a pitcher will no longer need to throw four pitches deliberately outside the strike zone in order to issue an intentional walk, but instead the defensive team's manager will simply need to signal his intention to the home plate umpire, who will immediately direct the batter to advance to first base. However, given that there is on average one intentional walk every 2.5 games, the change is expected to have only a minimal impact on playing time.

2024: The Detroit Tigers signed Gio Urshela as a free agent.

SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

Ever since PoBO Scott Harris came on board, he has exclusively doled out short-term contracts. Many of them have been 1-year deals.
This past winter, the Tigers chased Alex Bregman, offering a 6-year contract. But other than that, no other player has received an offer beyond 2 years.

Which brings us to the question…..
Which is the better strategy?
To offer a solid (but not superstar level) player a “prove it” contract of 1 year in which they are focused on playing their best in order to get a better contract for the following year?
To offer that same player a longer contract of 3+ years that guarantees security and gives the team a long-term positional solution?
Which do you believe is the better option for the Tigers right now?

Which contract option do you prefer for the Tigers to use?

1. A 1-year "prove it" contract.

2. A contract of more than 2 years.

February 23 in Tigers and mlb history:

1888: Future HOF'er James "Pud" Galvin signs with Pittsburgh for $3,000, including $1,000 in advance. The club offered him $3,500 with no advance money, but Galvin needs the $1,000 to tide him over the winter.

1918: Barney Dreyfuss of the Rules Committee launches a campaign to ban the spitter. He will succeed next year.

1934: Replacing skipper Max Carey, Brooklyn coach Casey Stengel signs a two-year deal to manage the Dodgers.

1940: The A's waive Lynn Nelson to Detroit. Nelson was the A's top winner in 1939 with 10 victories, but he'll go 1-1 with Detroit before bowing out.

1947: Hank Greenberg visits with an ailing Babe Ruth. Babe signs a large photo for Hank Greenberg during his visit to Babe's apartment in NYC.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FpqHr4QWAAAk6-z?format=jpg&name=medium

1960: Demolition of Ebbets Field begins. Lucy Monroe sings the National Anthem, and Roy Campanella is given an urn of dirt from behind home plate.


1964: The San Francisco Giants acquire P Masanori Murakami, 3B Tatsuhico Tanaka, and C Hiroshi Takahashi on a player development deal with the Nankai Hawks, who own rights to all three. They are the first Japanese natives ever to play for American teams. All three are assigned to the Magic Valley Cowboys (Pioneer League). Although none of the three are considered top prospects, Murakami will confound everyone by reaching the major leagues by September after an outstanding season in the minors.

1964: Charlie Finley gives in to American League pressure and signs a four-year lease with the municipal government to keep the A's in Kansas City. Finley wanted two years. His exasperated AL colleagues vote 9-1 that KC's offer is reasonable. Finley will move the team out of KC as soon as the lease expires after the 1967 season.

1976: Major League owners announce that spring training will not open until a new labor contract is agreed upon.

1977: The Detroit Tigers signed Tito Fuentes as a free agent.

1978: Tigers sell pitcher Steve Grilli to the Blue Jays.

1986: Although he loses his arbitration case, Boston Red Sox third baseman Wade Boggs receives the largest amount ($1.35 million) ever awarded by this process.

1988: A committee of Chicago aldermen vote 7-2 to allow the Cubs to install lights and play up to 18 night games a year at Wrigley Field. The Cubs had feared losing the 1990 All-Star Game, as well as future playoff and World Series games, if lights were not installed.

1990: Despite the owners dropping their arbitration and minimum salary proposals, spring training camps remain closed.

1996: The Rules Committee announces that the strike zone will be larger, dropping it from the top of the knees to the hollow below the knees. The change comes out of a series of recommendations to help speed up play.

2010: Major League Baseball announces that it will begin testing minor leaguers for human growth hormone this season. The illegal performance-enhancing substance has long been considered undetectable by conventional doping tests, but its presence has recently been isolated through a blood test, which will be used for this purpose.

2012: Ryan Braun becomes the first major league player to successfully appeal a positive PED test when arbitrator Shyam Das rules in his favor with regard to a positive test performed during the 2011 postseason. The test showed a testosterone level so high as to be almost unimaginable without outside interference. The three-man pannel chaired by Das rules that the fact that proper protocol was not followed in collecting and storing the sample prior to testing, makes it impossible to be certain that it has not been subject to tampering at some point. Braun had proclaimed his innocence all along, and now no longer faces a 50-game suspension.

2012: The group featuring former Los Angeles Dodgers manager Joe Torre announces it is bowing out of the bidding for the team because current owner Frank McCourt will not include the parking lots outside Dodger Stadium in the package. McCourt built his now-threatened fortune by operating parking lots in large cities. Torre's group states that by keeping control of this key resource, McCourt will make it impossible for the winning bidders to manage the team's assets effectively. The group, which was among the favorites to emerge as the new owners at the end of the court-supervised process, leaves the door open to a re-engagement if the terms of the sale are changed to include the disputed lots.

2016: The Detroit Tigers signed Casey McGehee as a free agent.

2018: The first Cactus League and Grapefruit League games of spring training are played today with Major League Baseball paying tribute to the victims of the horrific school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL as all players wear special caps. Proceeds from the sale of this autographed memorabilia will go to a fund dedicated to the victims. Some teams also go further by inviting students and school personnel to meet players and perform various roles at the games as a show of solidarity.

2018: The Detroit Tigers signed Louis Coleman as a free agent.
2018: The Detroit Tigers signed Francisco Liriano as a free agent.

2019: The Detroit Tigers signed Josh Harrison as a free agent.

2021: The Detroit Tigers signed Julio Teheran as a free agent.

Deeper Discussions.
Totally Tigers

This spring, the Detroit Tigers will be testing the new “robo umpire” system called ABS (Automated Balls and Strikes). It is the next step to potentially introducing it to MLB in the next year or two.
It is already being used in the minor league system.
Umpires will still be behind the plate calling balls and strikes. But the batter has the ability to challenge a pitch.
Each team has a total of 2 challenges per game. It will be a new layer of strategy for every organization in terms of how best to use each one.
What do you think of the new system?
Is it a nice added strategy to the game or is it more of a gimmick/technological update?
Today’s blog addresses this question and allows readers to share their thoughts in more detail. And hopefully, to actively engage with others by responding to their posts and creating back-and-forth discussion threads. The more the merrier!
For this one blog only, you’ve got 6 sentences max to share your thoughts. Of course, you can also respond to other readers.
TT will supply the ammunition. One thought-provoking question. Several options provided. One hard choice to be selected. One vote.
Ready?

What do you think about the new ABS system?

1. Could be very interesting/offer more accuracy.

2. It's more of a gimmick/technology push.

The Automated Ball-Strike System is Not Perfect.
ByronCopley

The Automated Ball-Strike system (ABS) has intruded into Major League Baseball Spring Training games. In this podcast, I refute the wisdom and necessity of using it at this level of play, because it will not necessarily guarantee 100-percent accuracy in calling balls and strikes. And the way that selected players can challenge an umpire’s ball-strike call introduces an element in the game that reverses the relationship between the two and supplants the umpire’s primary function on the field.
And, because it does so, why not just replace human umpires with this infallible machine?

1896: The National League adopts changes in the National Agreement. The minor leagues are divided into six classifications based on population, and new draft fees are instituted. The league also forbids players from deliberately soiling baseballs, and declares that "a ball cutting the corners of the home plate, and being requisite height, must be called a strike." It also empowers umpires to eject players.

1904: The Detroit Tigers purchased Ed Gremminger from the Boston Beaneaters.

1917: Smoky Joe Wood, his arm dead at 26, is sold by the Boston Red Sox to Cleveland for $15,000. He will become an outfielder after one last, losing start on the mound, and will play five more years.

1943: The Texas League announces it will suspend operations for the duration of the war. The St. Louis Cardinals, with 260 farm players in the service, will reduce farm clubs from 22 to 6. Only nine minor leagues will start the 1943 season. Advertisements for players appear in The Sporting News.

1948: The Chicago White Sox trade Ed Lopat to the New York Yankees for Aaron Robinson, Bill Wight and Fred Bradley. Lopat will star for seven seasons in pinstripes, winning 21 in 1951 and going 16-4 in 1953. Robinson's main value to the Sox will come at the end of the season when he's swapped for another lefty pitcher, as the Tigers make a Top 5 worst trade in their history, by trading Billy Pierce.

1977: The Oakland A's trade Ron Fairly to the Toronto Blue Jays for minor leaguer Mike Weathers and cash. The Macon, Georgia native, who played with the Montreal Expos from 1969 to 1974, will become the first major leaguer to appear with both Canadian teams.

1987: The Detroit Tigers signed Darrell Evans as a free agent.

1988: The Detroit Tigers traded Doug Baker to the Minnesota Twins for Julius McDougal (minors).

1990: Former Boston Red Sox slugger Tony Conigliaro dies of pneumonia and kidney failure at the age of 45. Conigliaro was the youngest American League player ever to reach 100 career home runs and then was nearly blinded by a 1967 beaning.

2000: The National Labor Relations Board certifies the results of the November election that kicked out the Major League Umpires Association and replaced it with the newly-formed World Umpires Association. About 50 of the 71 major league umpires have joined the new union. The decision ends Richie Phillips' 21-year reign as union chief.

2011: 1B Miguel Cabrera returns to the Tigers training camp, one week after his arrest on suspicion of drunken driving. He apologizes to teammates, team management, family and fans for the incident and has agreed to enter a treatment program. MLB officials warn him that "any future alcohol-related incidents could involve more serious consequences".

2011: Major League Baseball announces that three of its most experienced umpires have decided to retire. They are Jerry Crawford, who umpired his first game in 1977, making him the majors' longest-serving official, and was head of the Umpires Union, along with Mike Reilly and Chuck Meriwether. To replace them, Scott Barry and Brian Knight, both with major league umpiring experience as fill-ins, are added to the umpiring staff. Three other veterans retired before the 2010 season, and four new umpires were brought on at the time as the cadre is undergoing a renewal.
