SPRING Shakeup: Detroit Tigers MAKE First Roster Moves—Win Spring Training Games
Detroit Tigers ignite spring training with explosive wins and major roster decisions—can Kevin McGonigle’s breakout impact the Opening Day lineup? Injuries loom, but optimism rises as young talents flash potential and veterans like Justin Verlander ramp up ahead of the regular season.
Scott Bentley spotlights the Tigers’ spring roster cuts, including Ty Madden and Dylan Smith, updates on Troy Melton and Dylan Dingler’s injury rehab, and recaps offensive surges from Javi Baez, Riley Greene, and Jayce Young. Pitching performances by Tarik Skubal, Jack Flaherty, and Enmanuel De Jesus are dissected, with the latter sparking intrigue as a possible bullpen asset. The episode also explores the impact of World Baseball Classic departures and what these early spring developments could mean for Detroit’s path to contention. Will the adjustments stick and propel the Tigers toward an improved season?

Good update and the game was good to see on Sunday…//gv
Max Clark is on bust watch.
Hello Scott, was wondering are all of the minor league teams in spring training right now as well, is so where's Toledo/Eries camps at? So when Madden or any future cuts go right to their designated camp. I really enjoy the show, you do a great job young man thank you!
Exciting updates and coverage! A top guy in sports; SCOTT BENTLEY!
Time is real, obviously.
Life is a movie, not a picture…
I'd really love to see Keith sent down to Toledo till May at least. He's in need of some serious seasoning of his hitting.
Have u played pro baseball it is harder then u think
Thanks for getting me through another Monday morning Scott. All ways good analysis and updates.
Enough about the walks , they’re just about the outcome, they come about when you dominate the strike zone you don’t go up to the plate looking to walk it just happens when you have good at bats.
I was at the game Saturday against the Rays. McGonigle is gonna be special ❤️ I got Colt Keith and Jace Jung’s autograph before the game
I think Melton will be in Toledo or Detroit before the end of April.
Max Clark needs some maturing. He’ll be fine
When are final rosters made?
