What is the Tigers Minor League Report?

Tigers Minor League Report is an independent media outlet dedicated to covering the future of the Detroit Tigers—from Lakeland to Toledo and everywhere in between. Founded by longtime Tigers prospect analysts Rogelio Castillo and Chris Brown, who built their reputations through years of in-depth reporting with Tigers SRD (Sports Radio Detroit), TMLR is the next evolution in trusted, boots-on-the-ground Tigers coverage.

The site originally launched in 2019 and was rebooted in 2022, expanding its vision and team to deliver deeper, more consistent coverage of the Tigers’ farm system. Alongside Rogelio and Chris, the staff now includes contributors like Joe Rampe, Jerry Mackinem, Emily Waldon of Baseball America, and other passionate voices who bring unique perspectives to scouting, analytics, and player development.

Over the years, the TMLR team has collaborated with respected national outlets such as Prospects Live and has made guest appearances on stations like Jethro FM in Grand Rapids and Woodward Sports. Our work has been recognized for its authentic, no-hype approach to covering prospects, whether it’s evaluating a fast-rising draft pick or providing in-person updates from minor league ballparks.

What began as a grassroots podcast has grown into a full-fledged content network, featuring written scouting reports, video breakdowns, interviews, and weekly podcast episodes with two shows, TMLR and Motor City Metrics. With a loyal and growing audience across TigersMLReport.com, YouTube, podcast platforms, and social media, Tigers Minor League Report is the trusted source for Tigers fans who want to stay ahead of the curve and follow the future of the franchise in real time.
