In 2019, Flaherty posted a 2.75 ERA and 0.968 WHIP in 33 starts. Oblique and shoulder issues have since snagged his career.

Being some 1,800 miles closer to his Ohio farm and family was a big draw for Andrew Chafin, the direction he sees the Tigers heading was just as big

Sean Baligian, a Livonia native, has been on the air for nearly three decades, most of that in Detroit, starting at WDFN 1130.

The Tigers are certain Andrew Chafin's career-worst 12.5% walk rate in '23 was an anomaly and see him as a key piece at the back end of their bullpen.

Shohei Ohtani has set a financial record to go along with his singular on-field performance.
