Adding Troy Melton and Kerry Carpenter will help Tigers, maybe even a lot, but there is no question bullpen help badly needed at deadline.
Big win for the Tigers today, the type that can turn things around. Flaherty and Torres, their big free agents came through. Thought Holton and Hanifee holding it together a key. Get E-Rod tomorrow and he has been terrible this year.
Double-edged sword cuts bad both ways when you lose 12 of 13. If Cleveland wins Game 2 vs. KC tonight, Guardians would be just 7 games behind the Tigers. It was 15.5 on July 7. But even if they lose, KC and Cleveland would be tied just 7.5 out. Royals were 14 behind on July 7.
Not sure if I can ever remember a half-inning like that. Amazing. MLB at its best.
Anzalone’s frustration understandable, but he is being compensated reasonably fairly for 2025 based on production ($6.1 million) and the Lions are already $19 million above cap for 2026.
#Lions LB Alex Anzalone says his return to practice does not indicate an extension is close.
As a starting pitcher in 2025, Tarik Skubal only throws 13 percent of innings by Tigers’ pitchers. But it sure is good when that 13 percent lands when the club has lost 11 of 12…
Felix Bautista is on the IL with a shoulder ailment, reducing the bullpen options for the Tigers. Gregory Soto closed today for O’s vs Cleveland.
Any truth to the rumor Jason Benetti is singing the national anthem tonight accompanied by Andy Dirks on the kazoo? If not, please do me a favor, don’t give them any ideas. Thanks.
Trade deadline deals can only help Tigers so much. Column by Pat Caputo. @patcaputo98 audacy.com/971theticket/s…

Ah, that was my point. What started out to be fun thing has morphed into a clown show.
Huh? He’s on the telecast a lot.
JK just informed us there are “Knuckleheads in every business.” He’s like Confusious and Sister Mary Jean rolled into one!!!
Do they look like a double rainbow to you? Great interview!!!
Most compelling scene? Tigers broadcasters yucking it up with JK as season continues to plunge. Like a scene from Oz. Love it!!!
Great question: “JK, you know you’re great at it? Follow up even better. “WOW?
