    Justin Verlander (and his family) gave Detroit the emotional farewell we needed (opens the original)

    The metaphor was perhaps a bit on the nose, met with an emotional climax that seemed as made for Hollywood as it was for Detroit. The moment, however, was perfect. Tigers manager AJ Hinch and Justin Verlander's wife, Kate Upton, crafted a pitch-perfect, heartfelt ceremony for a player who wanted to be known as a great dad every bit as much as he wanted to be known for greatness on the field. After Verlander recorded the first out of the sixth inning of the Tigers' game against the Pirates, a pop

    Justin Verlander declares himself a Detroit Tiger for life in emotional retirement ceremony (opens the original)

    At a little after 1 p.m. today, Justin Verlander will stride out to the mound at Comerica Park to start his last game as a Detroit Tiger -- and as a Major League Baseball player. But first, Friday night, the Tigers honored Verlander with a pregame celebration to thank him (and his family) for all they've done for Detroit both on and off the field. Detroit stars, past sports voices, and more were part of the tributes, with longtime Fox Sports Detroit (and its various related stations) John Keatin

    Justin Verlander changed everything for Detroit — and for me (opens the original)

    An era ends today. Justin Verlander will step on the mound at Comerica Park wearing the Olde English D one last time, and the playing career of the greatest Detroit Tigers pitcher of our generation will come to a close. I've thought all week about what to write. About how I'll feel. This isn't the first big retirement for the Tigers. Miguel Cabrera played his last game in 2023. But this is the last one in a period of time that meant so much for the team and truly gave me a career I never expecte

    Complete Tigers trade deadline grades after Scott Harris dismantled an era (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    President of baseball operations Scott Harris and the Detroit Tigers entered the days leading up to the MLB trade deadline with everyone screaming at him to do something. What, exactly, they wanted him to do varied some. While both camps began with the same argument — that the Tigers needed a better bullpen and improved outfield to truly compete for the division title — the prescriptions varied: give up and trade everything not nailed down, or go out and add some bullpen help and see what this t

    Tarik Skubal’s response to Dodgers trade will hit Tigers fans hard (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Tarik Skubal was following his normal off-day routine on Saturday as the Tigers were in the middle of their second game in Sacramento, facing the A's. But this time, as he walked into the clubhouse, it was different. "I got a phone call and [thought], I know what this," a clearly emotional Skubal told reporters after the Tigers' 8-6 victory helped them close to within 2.5 games of an American League wild card spot. Skubal was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night and the Tigers rec
