Tigers 2025-2026 Offseason: Trades, Free Agents, Call ups, Rule 5, tender, non-tender, Skubal Cy Young Award

BREAKING: Tigers prospect Max Clark will start the season in Triple-A with the Toledo Mud Hens.

We’re going to see a lot of height changes this year because, with the rollout of ABS, MLB is now measuring each player's height down to the millimeter. The process is super strict — no shoes, no hats, knees exposed, back against the wall — and to account for potential shrinkage throughout the day, MLB is even requiring all its teams to take measurements between 10 am and 12 pm local time on their appointed day.
This is fascinating! Some new heights for the Tigers:
McGonigle 5'9"
Hao-Yu Lee 5'9"
Torres 5'10"
Baez 5'11"
Rogers 5'11"
Jung 5'11"
Clark 5'11"
Max Anderson 5'11"
Peck 6'0"
Torkelson 6'1"
Keith 6'2"
Sweeney 6'2"
Briceno 6'4"
Meadows 6'5"

this clown...always in the news, but never for the right reason. Tatoos, chains, social media, but not because he is playing great baseball.

Today Max Clark answered my tweet question about his reading the TIgers forum here, and he said that his next tattoo is going to say, "I like Tom D" with a Tiger.

he needs to read more of my posts...he won't like me!

He's young and baseball is filled with players that have tattoos and chains. I don't see the deal.

Will the Detroit Tigers promote Kevin McGonigle to the majors?

it seems like the problem isn't keeping McGongile, it's which shitty player is going to be sent down. It seems like they have a lot of options!
