Let’s not give Bryce Harper the NL MVP just yet
At the All-Star break, the Philadelphia Phillies were a .500 team and weren’t being taken very seriously as threats to take the NL East crown from the Mets. Despite throwing everything and the kitchen sink at All-Stars Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto in 2019, the Phillies have not reached the playoff...
MLB doesn’t need a 'face of baseball,' and the proof is in the playoffs
Mike Trout has as many MVP awards as career playoff games played, with three, and for as much talk as there might be in baseball — even from the commissioner — about MLB’s need for the best player of his generation to take on the mantle of the face of the game, no amount of marketing can make up for...

The ones that do the least during games make the most money. No wonder baseball is America’s pastime
When I was in elementary school, we used to take annual field trips to the old Tiger Stadium. One year, Detroit was playing the Royals. I remember those blue jerseys. Our school was sitting in the outfield and somebody who wasn’t in our group pulled a beach ball out from nowhere. It eventually bounc...
Miguel Cabrera's Decline Is Going To Be A Long And Sad Affair
I didn’t watch the Tigers lose 5-3 to the Rangers on Tuesday night—I was paying attention, instead, to the local baseball team that was actually trying to win. But a tweet from the Tigers’ broadcasters caught my eye in the middle of the Michigan-Vanderbilt game. I assumed, at first glance, that Migu...
Miguel Cabrera Nabs A Poor Sucker With A Very Easy Hidden Ball Trick
Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera pulled off a neat bit of old-man trickery in today’s spring training game against the Twins. Minnesota’s Ehire Adrianza was on first and got lulled into a false sense of security from a lazy pickoff move, so Cabrera pretended to throw the ball back to the ...
Miguel Cabrera Done For The Season With Ruptured Biceps Tendon
Miguel Cabrera left Tuesday’s loss to the Twins in the bottom of the third inning with what was initially described by the Tigers as a left biceps tendon strain. Cabrera took a looping cut on a Jake Odorizzi off-speed pitch and immediately winced and grabbed his bicep before walking into the dugout ...

Miguel Cabrera Is, Frankly, Sick And Tired Of Your Trade Rumors
The upcoming trade deadline sees the Tigers in the same narrative that’s been chasing them for years—the window is swinging shut for a roster of aging stars on huge contracts, and this can be the time to deal. The front office has made no secret of their desire to cut payroll while the team’s big na...
The Tigers' Window Has Closed, But They Could Reopen It Soon
Thursday’s Detroit Tigers game felt like a quintessential performance from the team’s two pillars. Justin Verlander started in his 366th career game for Detroit, going up against the Rays and pitching seven solid innings as he put himself in position to get the win. But the team lost its 3-2 lead wh...
Venezuelan MLB Players Are Speaking Out About The Crisis Back Home
At the start of this season, there were 76 Venezuelan players on MLB’s 25-man rosters—the third most represented nationality after American and Dominican. It’s estimated that 80 more Venezuelans will sign with teams this year. They leave behind family and friends in a country that is growing increas...
Miguel Cabrera Was Very Impressed With The Pitch That Struck Him Out
Miguel Cabrera is on quite the run right now, but Jeremy Hellickson got him to take a rip at a strike three that fell harmlessly in the dirt far from Cabrera’s flailing bat. He is a fun dude who knows when to give respect when he gets owned, so he flashed Hellickson a cool thumbs up almost before Ca...
Miguel Cabrera Hits Dong, Fan Celebrates By Picking Friend Up By His Salami
Miguel Cabrera is on one right now. He’s hit five dingers in his last 13 at-bats, including a pair off poor Vincent Velasquez tonight, who gave up four longballs in four innings pitched. Cabrera went opposite field in the first inning, then inspired a rather friendly celebration with his second home...
Ruddy Tigers Fan Snags Miguel Cabrera's Bat Out Of The Sky
As far as baseball fans catching objects go, Tigers fans are probably having the best season in baseball. A dude caught five foul balls in a single game last month, and while A’s fans have been good foul ball defenders all year, a jolly-looking man put the Tigers firmly in the lead this evening with...
Miguel Cabrera Forgets To Wear Glove, Gets Out Anyway
Look, you can yell “that’s why he’s never won a Gold Glove” or “process over results” or “Miggy should probably be wearing his glove when he’s holding the runner on first base” until you’re blue in the face, but he got the out didn’t he? ...
Miguel Cabrera Heads To Disabled List For First Time In His Career
Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera has been placed on the disabled list for the first time in his career. Cabrera was placed on the 15-day DL but is expected to miss six weeks with a Grade 3 calf strain. ...
