The Detroit Tigers are eying ticket sales today to see if they could possibly sell out home games before the season even starts. Dave Dombrowski warned us all in mid-January that tickets were going to be tough to come by:
“I would suggest to people that when our individual season tickets go on sale in March, […]
I’m really late on this one. The first time I go on a business trip for weeks and I miss a major signing. Oh well. As this story has been covered throughout the Tiger blogosphere already, I won’t dwell on this news to much.
While not a big surprise it is great news to see that […]
Brandon Inge has broken his silence and seems to still be coming to terms with the situation he is now in. For now, Brandon will report to the Tigers Spring Training with the catchers, though Dombrowski is still seeking a trade. According to Brandon, this is the worst situation he could be in:

In news that isn’t much of a shocker when you take into account how Dave Dombrowski does business, the Free Press is reporting that the Tigers and Curtis Granderson are in the process of negotiating a long term contract.
The Tigers would likely want the contract to stretch a minimum of one season beyond the point […]

Tonight is the deadline for the Tigers to tender contracts to arbitration eligable players. This morning they had seven players eligable for arbitration: Tim Byrdak, Miguel Cabrera, Chad Durbin, Nate Robertson, Bobby Seay, Marcus Thames and Dontrelle Willis.
Hasn’t been much movement up to this point on the key players but two moves were made:

I received my copy of the Hardball Times Baseball Annual 2008 yesterday. This is the first year I’ve purchased it and did so mainly to read the article by fellow blogger Bill Ferris on Tiger GM Dave Dombrowski. Needless to say it was the same great commentary that you’ve come to expect on the Detroit […]
