The Detroit Tigers sent two catchers to minor league camp Thursday: Derek Norris and Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Both catchers signed with Detroit this offseason on minor league contracts with invitations to spring training. It was expected that Norris would at least compete for a spot on the big league roster, but he missed the cut. Norris is a career .230 hitter who hit a career-best 14 HR in both 2015 and 2016. Saltalamacchia spent 2016 with the Tigers and started off hot before fizzling to post a[...]

Veteran free-agent catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia signed a minor league deal with the Tigers on Friday, joining an already crowded mix of catchers at Tigers camp. Detroit already has James McCann and John Hicks slated for the big league roster and veterans Brayan Pena and Derek Norris along for the ride as well. Salty spent most of 2017 in the Blue Jays minor league system but did play in 2016 for the Tigers, where he got off to a sizzling start before ultimately floundering to a .171 average wit[...]

Cameron Maybin and Victor Martinez will both sit today with no injuries to report, just rest days for both hitters. Andrew Romine will play center field and bat ninth, while Jarrod Saltalamacchia will play first base and bat eighth. The Tigers host Adrian Sampson and the Mariners. Sampson has made o[...]

This is just another rest day for the Detroit Tigers' catcher. Jarrod Saltalamacchia started the season off slow, but he is really starting to pick it up of recent. Bobby [...]

The Detroit Tigers' catcher, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, has been crushing the ball of recent, and his current hard-hit rate (50%) makes him a great candidate to go deep tonight. The Detroit Tigers are projected to score over four runs, and Saltalamacchia is most likely going to hit in the seven spot. He[...]

Tiger catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered yet again in Detroit's loss to Houston today, bringing his season total to four. He will see the vast majority of the action for the Tigers while James McCann is on the DL, and could continue to get a good number of ABs upon McCann's return, especially if [...]

Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered for the second time in three starts for the Tigers and is moving up the catching rankings in the early going. 'Salty' also doubled as part of the Tigers 15-hit attack on Saturday, and is proving to be a sneaky source of power among catchers so long as starter James McCa[...]
