When the Detroit Tigers selected Justin Verlander in the 1st Round of the 2004 MLB Draft, the hope was that he would eventually develop into a No. 1 starter. Well, as we know, Verlander did much more than that, as he not only became one of the best pitchers in baseball, but he won an MVP award, which is very difficult for a pitcher to accomplish. Unfortunately, though he came close, Verlander was never able to lead the Tigers to a World Series title, and he was eventually traded to the Houston Astros. During a recent conversation with the Detroit News, he talked about being traded, and how he wishes that it had worked out for the Tigers, as it did the Astros.

Bottom Line: It could be a fun season in the Motor City!. The 2022 season is a wrap, and the Detroit Lions finished with an overall record of 9-8. Fast forward to the present, and the Lions have been focused on adding players to their roster via free agency. Well, the first wave of free agency is pretty much in the books, and to say the Lions upgraded their biggest weakness (the secondary), would be a huge understatement. That being said, if the Lions truly want to contend for a Super Bowl, there is still plenty of work to be done. Let's take a look at how I think the 2023 Detroit Lions will win.

Riley Greene is a fearless center fielder for the Detroit Tigers, who blends MVP-caliber skills, such as an elite hitting and power profile, with leadership qualities. In his rookie season, he fractured his foot in spring training, which kept him off the Opening Day roster, but his arrival sparked the Tigers' struggling offense for a time, and he endured a month-long slump before rebounding. When all was said and done, he played 93 games for the Tigers, hitting .253 with five home runs, 36 walks, and 120 strikeouts. Despite his successful debut, Greene believes there is room for improvement and wants to be great for his team to win.

Earlier today, we passed along the news that the Detroit Tigers have sent RP Will Vest and catcher Donny Sands to Triple-A Toledo, while INF Andy Ibañez was reassigned to the Tigers' minor-league camp. According to the Detroit Free Press, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch also informed catchers Andrew Knapp and Michael Papierski that they were no longer in the running for the Opening Day roster, leaving Eric Haase and Jake Rogers as the final two catchers for the team.

Well, here we are again. The calendar is on April's doorstep, the sun is shining, and Major League stadiums are being lined for Opening Day. The Detroit Tigers still have some decisions to make regarding their 26-man roster, with 38 players after their latest rounds of cuts. There are still some position battles to be decided and those are going to be worked through in the next few days. The Tigers open up in 2023 on the road against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Thousands turned out in droves to see former President Donald Trump kick off his 2024 campaign in Waco, Texas on Saturday but some of his supporters did not stay very long.

The Detroit Lions‘ approach to free agency this year signaled that they were not content with their starting lineup from last season. With the possibility of the Lions drafting a cornerback in this year's draft, it's no surprise that they might consider trading former No. 3 overall pick, Jeff Okudah. Although his trade value may not be high, there are almost certainly some general managers out there who have not forgotten Okudah's impressive college career and are convinced that they can fix him.

The Detroit Lions currently hold the No. 6 and No. 18 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and many fans have been eagerly anticipating who they will select with those picks. However, according to Brad Spielberger of Pro Football Focus, the Lions may look to trade up in the draft to select their quarterback of the future. In his latest 2023 NFL Mock Draft, Spielberger has the Lions moving up to the No. 3 overall pick to select Anthony Richardson out of the University of Florida. In order to make this trade, the Lions had to send an “absolute haul” to the Arizona Cardinals. A move like this could have significant implications for the future of the Lions franchise and the NFL as a whole.

Three Detroit Lions veterans took substantial pay cuts this offseason, and many are commending them for doing the team a solid for their “selfless acts”. But did the players really take pay cuts to help out the team, or was it for themselves? When Halapoulivaati Vaitai, Charles Harris, and Romeo Okwara agreed to take pay cuts this offseason, fans and analysts alike were quick to commend them for their selflessness. However, as with any decision, there are multiple factors to consider, including the motives of the players themselves. Of the three players mentioned above, only Okwara could have had a chance to get more money if he left in free agency.

Was what Vaitai and Harris did for Detroit Lions really ‘selfless’?
