Detroit Tigers
Garrett Crochet’s first career start will be one to remember. The Chicago White Sox will hand the ball to Crochet on opening day, showing their faith in his transition from the bullpen to the starting rotation. The hard-throwing Crochet has made 72 career appearances, but all have come in relief.

By David Brandt The AL Central doesn't appear to be a great place to find baseball's best teams. Instead, it might be home to some of the most improved. The division had a tough 2023, with the Twins running away with the title despite an 87-win season that wouldn't have been good enough to win any other division in MLB. One year later, it's still hard to look at the rosters and find an obvious 90-win squad in the bunch. Minnesota once again appears to be the class of the division despite losing a pair of front-line starting pitchers in Sonny Gray and Kenta Maeda. But the real interest lies with teams like the Tigers and Royals, who are hoping for a big step forward. The Tigers haven't had a winning

At the start of every day, manager AJ Hinch and pitching coach Chris Fetter discuss the decisions that have to be made regarding the final roster spots on the pitching staff. Before the end of every day, Hinch, president Scott Harris, general manager Jeff Greenberg and their front office lieutenants continue the discussion. “There are days when it's impossible to break down fairly,” Hinch said. In regards to the battle for the final two rotation spots, right-hander Reese Olson certainly did his part to keep the pressure on them Sunday with his gritty performance in the Tigers' 4-4 spring tie against the Baltimore Orioles.

Max Clark got into a fender-bender with a Detroit Tigers fan on his way to Starbucks. Clark received a $7.7 million signing bonus as the No. 3 overall pick in the 2023 draft and entertains more than 385,000 followers on Instagram, but the 19-year-old — who hasn't played above Low-A Lakeland — is living at the TigerTown dormitories with the rest of the minor leaguers in spring training. "I don't think we've had a player of his personality that's been a Tiger," said Hall of Fame shortstop Alan Trammell, who played 20 seasons for the Tigers, works as a special assistant in the front office and managed Clark in Saturday's prospects-only game.

We can debate whether Tarik Skubal had his A stuff Saturday in the Tigers' 6-4 spring win over the Pirates at LECOM Park. “It's good to have all that stuff happen,” said Skubal, who ended up being charged with eight hits and three runs with five strikeouts in four innings. The third inning was a beauty. Skubal had already lost one battle to the Pirates' outstanding young catcher Henry Davis on Saturday.

When you've traveled the professional path Tigers' right-hander Drew Anderson has, you get pretty good at compartmentalizing and prioritizing things. Which is especially useful to him these days as he enters the final 10 days of his fight to win a roster spot with the Tigers. Signed as a minor-league free agent and given an invite to big-league camp, he showed up with a four-seam fastball humming at 97 mph, 4-5 mph firmer than the one he featured when he last pitched in the big leagues in 2021. “He's made a really nice impression in multiple ways,” manager AJ HInch said Saturday before the Tigers played the Pirates in a spring game at LECOM Park.

Keston Hiura hit a grand slam and Buddy Kennedy followed with a solo blast to highlight a seven-run sixth inning as the Detroit Tigers survived a big day from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to beat the host Toronto Blue Jays 9-6 on Friday in Dunedin, Fla. Guerrero went 2-for-3, including a two-run homer in the fifth, and drove in four runs to improve his average to .417 this spring. George Springer also homered in the fifth to help the Blue Jays take a 6-2 lead but that wouldn't last. The Tigers answered with seven hits in the sixth, including back-to-back blasts off Mason Fluharty (0-1), to take the lead. Mason Englert (1-0) earned the win despite giving up five hits and four runs in two innings. Drew
