    Tigers C prospect Josue Briceño clobbered his league-leading 10th home run on Wednesday in Arizona Fall League action.
    Briceño is the first prospect to launch double-digit homers in the AFL since Mike Olt accomplished the feat back in 2011. The 20-year-old backstop was limited to just 40 games last season at Low-A Lakeland and figures to open up next year back in the lower minors. His over-the-fence pop is unquestioned and he figures to hit for plenty of power once he arrives in the big leagues. That’s unlikely to happen in 2025, but he’s definitely increased his long-term dynasty appeal with his AFL performance.

    Tigers C prospect Josue Briceño went 5-for-5 with four RBI on Tuesday in Arizona Fall League action.
    Briceño has been among the hottest hitters in the AFL over the last few weeks as the five-hit effort raises his batting average to a surreal .439 mark to go along with an AFL-leading nine round-trippers. The 20-year-old catcher is still at least a year or two away from reaching the big leagues, but the over-the-fence pop has been extremely impressive in the fall showcase.

    Tigers C prospect Josue Briceño went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two RBI on. Monday in Arizona Fall League action.
    Briceño walloped his AFL-leading ninth round-tripper in the opening frame as he continues to build a compelling resume for AFL MVP honors. The 20-year-old backstop was limited to just 40 games this past season at Low-A Lakeland due to injury, but has certainly made up for lost time in the fall circuit. He’s a long ways off from the big leagues, but the over-the-fence pop is real and it’s spectacular.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #29
    Tarik Skubal, Emmanuel Clase, and Seth Lugo have been named finalists for the American League Cy Young Award.
    Clase and Lugo are deserving finalists, but Skubal is a near-lock to take home his first Cy Young Award after a dominant 2024 campaign where he led the American League in ERA (2.39) and strikeouts (228) over 192 innings (31 starts). The 27-year-old southpaw figures to be the first starting pitcher off the board next spring in all fantasy drafts. Clase melted down in the postseason, but was other-worldly during the regular season, converting a career-high 47 saves to go with a sparkling 0.61 ERA across 74 1/3 innings (74 appearances). He’s the first reliever since Francisco Rodríguez back in 2008 to be named a Cy Young Award finalist. Lugo was an unexpected revelation in his Kansas City debut, finishing with a solid 3.00 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 181/48 K/BB ratio across 206 2/3 innings (33 starts).
  • DET Manager
    A.J. Hinch, Matt Quatraro and Stephen Vogt have been named finalists for the American League Manager of the Year Award.
    It’s a bit jarring to see three managers from the same division in the mix here, but the trio are all deserving candidates after leading the Tigers, Royals, and Guardians, respectively, to the postseason. Hinch might be a slight favorite after engineering a pretty unexpected turnaround in Detroit last season, guiding the club to an 86-win season and a playoff berth. The same goes for Quatraro, who took Kansas City from 56 wins in his managerial debut to 86 victories this past season. Vogt was at the helm for 92 wins and an AL Central division title in his managerial debut.

    Tigers C prospect Thayron Liranzo was named the MVP of the Arizona Fall League’s annual Fall Stars Game.
    Liranzo took home MVP honors after blasting a tie-breaking moonshot to right field during the ninth inning of Sunday’s All-Star showcase in the desert. The 21-year-old backstop, who was the centerpiece of the Jack Flaherty deal with the Dodgers back in August, has made some serious noise in the AFL this fall, batting .326 with one homer in 14 contests, after posting a 1.031 OPS in 26 contests for High-A West Michigan following the trade. He’s quickly becoming one of the better catching prospects in the game, but it might be a long shot for him to reach the majors during the 2025 campaign. He’s a name to watch.
  • DET Relief Pitcher #55
    Tigers general manager Scott Harris told reporters last week that Alex Lange (lat) is making progress towards being ready for next season.
    Harris refused to endorse an official timetable, but it sounds like there’s optimism Lange could potentially be ready for the start of next season. The 29-year-old righty, who served as Detroit’s closer for the majority of the 2023 season, suffered a torn lat in mid-June while pitching for Triple-A Toledo, which ended his season. There should be some clarity on his status once spring training kicks off.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #18
    Tigers’ president of baseball operations Scott Harris told reporters during the GM meetings in San Antonio that Kenta Maeda “will have every opportunity” to earn a job in the club’s rotation in 2025.
    The 36-year-old right-hander was moved to the bullpen in early July and spent the rest of the year functioning mainly in a bulk innings role. Maeda ultimately registered a troublesome 6.09 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a 96/31 K/BB ratio over 112 1/3 innings in 29 appearances (17 starts) on the season. While the Tigers would like him to win a job, poor performance during the spring or in April could lead to another quick hook or ultimately his removal from the roster altogether.
  • DET Right Fielder #40
    Tigers re-signed 1B/OF Bligh Madris to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
    Madris appeared in 21 games at the big league level for the Tigers during the 2024 season, slashing .269/.324/.358 with a homer, five RBI and a 20/6 K/BB ratio across 75 plate appearances. He’ll get an opportunity during spring training to compete for a bench spot on the club’s Opening Day roster.
  • DET Relief Pitcher #64
    Tigers re-signed RHP Freddy Pacheco to a minor league contract.
    Pacheco was a notable pitching prospect a couple seasons ago, but injuries have derailed his one-promising career. The 26-year-old righty has made only two appearances in the minor leagues over the last two seasons, but will remain with the Tigers as a long-term development project. If he can stay healthy, and the stuff bounces back, he might have a shot to reach the big leagues down the road.
