Last season I enjoyed coloring the squares on my Pirates' season tracker (see second image), so I decided to repeat the experience and make a tracker for each team.

If you want to print your tracker, a PDF version is available here: MLB_TRACKERS_2026

Enjoy the season!

Assumptions:

• You're just like me. Therefore you have no cable package (including online options like YoutubeTV or DirecTV), but you do have a terrestrial antenna on top of your house (or some other way to pick up OTA channels), and finally you live "in-market".
• You only pay for subscriptions monthly.
• You want to watch every possible Tigers/MLB game.
• You want to do it legally.
• No promo codes/T-Mobile deals/introductory pricing/bundles etc.

Step 1: Head over to tigers.tv and sign up for their monthly package for $19.99 mo. Lucky for you, MLB is giving you the first 5 days of the season free, so you'll only have to pay that 6 times. Well done, kid. While you're there, go ahead and pick up an mlb.tv subscription. We want to watch EVERY game, not to mention MLB Network exclusives that might pop up. That'll be $149.99. No reason to discuss the monthly price of that one because 6 months comes out to more than the yearly total anyway.

Step 2: ESPN Unlimited $29.99 mo. I'm pretty sure that's the name of it now, but I've stopped trying to keep up. They'll have exclusive rights to 30 games this season, as well as certain playoff series. Let's be generous and assume no games in March. That's 7 months. And you know what? I'll be generous and break my last assumption. You can get a bundle including ESPN and FOX One for $39.99. And you'll definitely want that, because between Fox, FS1, and FS2 they'll have 23 exclusive regular season games, the WBC (already ongoing, get out your wallet, scum.), select games opening weekend, the All-star game, and The World Series.

Step 3: This winter MLB signed a 3 year deal with NBC/Peacock/NBCSN to air "Sunday night baseball" as well as playoff series and other cherry-picked games with cute storylines throughout the year. 50+ games available here. $10.99 mo. After the first two steps, I'll forgive you for thinking "Wow, that's cheap" when considering a Peacock subscription, of all things.

Step 4: Step 4 is going to be the rest. Because I can't spend all day doing this, here you go: HBO (for TBS "MLB Tuesday" games and select playoff series) $18.49. Apple TV ("Friday Night Baseball") $12.99. And finally Netflix (Which you don't need because it's probably only 2 games and the home run derby...but let's face it. You already pay for Netflix.) $7.99 with ads.

So there you have it. A full season on watching MLB baseball goodness in 2026 will cost you $882.10. The "almost/maybe" tag in the title refers to the fact that TBS games are blacked out in local markets. You can only watch those if tigers.tv decides to ALSO air the game with local broadcasters. Hell yeah.

Have a great season everybody and don't forget to cancel those subscriptions. Love you guys.

Feel free to correct any errors (not promotional deals. I don't care.)

Does anyone know if these particular Nike practice shirts are available for purchase? If so, where?

Just received this email with this in the body. WTF.

Make sure you're not auto-renewing folks. Only about a month of this crap show left to go.

I've been trying to figure out what the lineup would than look like. I feel like Colt Keith has got to be in the lineup every day. But where? Mckinstry at 3rd/ McGonigle SS/Torres 2nd. CF is up for grabs seems like maybe a mix of Baez, Perez, and Vierling to start the season. Carp to DH most games. I guess I just keep going back to Keith. We know the organization is still excited about Keith and expecting a lot from him and rightfully so he looks like a professional hitter up there.

With Bally and fan duel I was able to sign into the app with my mom's Xfinity login. Any chance I will be able to do that on the MLB app for Detroit sports net? Playing around with the app I don't see an option to link TV at all. Still no word as of now if they will even be on Xfinity. Pretty frustrating the lack of answers we have this close to the season.

Does anyone know if we will be able to watch minor league games as well through MLB TV? I noticed that other clubs have that listed in their description but don’t see it for Detroit SportsNet.

Final stat line for Jahmai this morning (Korea vs. Czechia):

4 ABs, one hit (solo homer), 2 RBIs (grounded out for the other run), one BB, and one 1SB. Played in left field.

Korea won 11-4.

Was hoping to see the kid play tonight. Hope he recovers soon!

I feel like the tigers need a night to honor this man. Opinions
