4/23/24	Is Javier Baez starting to heat up (in all phases) for Detroit Tigers?. Last weekend, the Detroit Tigers were heading in the wrong direction. After a quick 5-0 start left them as the last undefeated team in MLB, they dropped six of their next nine games, including both ends of a doubleheader at home against the Minnesota Twins. Thanks to a hitless performance that day, Javier Baez -- the team's highest-paid player -- left the ballpark with a .125 batting average and .265 OPS. The next day, after an 0-for-2 start, Baez stepped to the plate in the bottom of the eighth inning and the Tigers trailing 3-0. Source: https://www.clickondetroit.com/sports/2024/04/23/i...

2/15/24	Three Tigers bold predictions as MLB spring training gets underway. The Detroit Tigers finished with a 78-84 record last season, good for second place in the beleaguered American League Central Division, and enough evidence for us to make our Detroit Tigers bold predictions. The Tigers' 78 wins would have placed them last in the stacked American League Central, heightening the team's urgency for a better performance in 2024 as Spring Training gets underway in Lakeland, Florida. Recently Tigers manager AJ Hinch got real on the possibility of a bounce back campaign from Javier Baez in 2024. Pitcher Jack Flaherty revealed his true reason for signing with the Tigers this offseason. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/three-tigers-bold-predict...
2/01/24	Tigers' AJ Hinch gets real on needing bounce back campaign from Javier Baez in 2024. In the early 2010s, the Detroit Tigers were one of the best teams in Major League Baseball. Then the Tigers fell off the face of the earth. It has been a long time since they made it to the playoffs, but with AJ Hinch as their manager, they have their eyes set on the prize. The Tigers are looking for a big season, and they will need the help of their shortstop, Javier Baez. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/tigers-news-aj-hinch-real...
1/26/24	Can Javier Baez bounce back in 2024? What happens if he doesn't?. It wasn't long ago that the Detroit Tigers' long-term future at shortstop hinged on whether Javier Baez would opt-out of his contract after the 2023 season. Baez hit fairly well after a slow start in 2022, and if he had maintained that momentum in 2023, there's at least a chance he would have ditched the remaining four years and $98 million left on his contract to test free agency again. Baez was one of the least productive offensive players in all of baseball in 2023 (ranked 132 of 133 qualified players by one tally).

10/26/23	What's the boldest move Tigers could make this winter? Go find a better shortstop.. The Detroit Tigers endured seven seasons of subpar offensive production at designated hitter, trapped by a contract and a legendary track record too big to shove aside. Tigers shortstop Javier Baez was one of the least productive offensive players in all of baseball in 2023, ranked 132 of 133 qualified players by one tally.
