This is how dominant Mason Miller is right now. He's got Vaughn Grissom ducking away from a slider that landed in the strike zone.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 2026 TIGERS, INF KEVIN MCGONIGLE AGREE TO EIGHT-YEAR CONTRACT EXTENSION DEAL BEGINS NEXT SEASON, COVERS 2027-2034 CAMPAIGNS DETROIT - The Detroit Tigers and infielder Kevin McGonigle have agreed to terms on an eight-year contract extension worth $150,000,000 guaranteed. The deal, which begins next year, covers the 2027-2034 seasons, which includes McGonigle's final five seasons of club control plus his first three years of free agency. The deal includes contract escalators for the final three seasons that could bring the total value to a maximum of $160,000,000. McGonigle will earn guaranteed salaries of $1,000,000 during the 2027 season, $7,000,000 in 2028, $16,000,000 in 2029, $21,000,000 in 2030, $22,000,000 in 2031 and $23,000,000 in the 2032, 2033 and 2034 campaigns. Contract escalators could increase his 2032 maximum base salary to $25,000,000, his 2033 maximum base salary to $26,000,000 and his 2034 maximum base salary to $28,000,000. The deal also includes a $14,000,000 signing bonus and a $5,000,000 assignment bonus each time the contract is assigned to another major league organization. The 21-year-old McGonigle entered the 2026 campaign ranked as the No. 2 overall prospect in all of baseball by Baseball America, MLB Pipeline and other national outlets and was labeled by mlb.com as arguably the best hitting prospect of the current decade thus far. Going into this season, he was awarded by Baseball America as their only 80-grade hitter in their prospect handbook, noting that he was the only minor league hitter last year to rank in the top 20 percent in power, swing decisions and contact ability. In what would be his final test against minor league competition, McGonigle last year earned Arizona Fall League MVP honors after he batted .362 with five home runs, 19 RBI and a 1.210 OPS in 19 games, drawing more walks (19) than strikeouts (12). That has been a theme of McGonigle's professional career, as he drew 123 walks compared to only 84 …
Wow. The Tigers just announced that they’ve agreed to an eight-year, $150 million deal with 21-year-old Kevin McGonigle.
Per clubhouse reports, the fan Jarren Duran flipped off told him to go kill himself. Jahmai Webster of NESN says Duran admitted responding this way was not the right thing to do.
Jarren Duran will have a topic of conversation in the clubhouse
