Former Detroit Tigers player Curtis Granderson, a three-time All-Star over 16 MLB seasons, joins the "Days of Roar" podcast to discuss the Tigers, drawing comparisons between the 2006 Tigers and 2025 Tigers. He shared insight into the Tigers' run to the World Series in 2006 as a 25-year-old player, as well as his view of the Tigers' success in 2025 as a 44-year-old national TV analyst. Additionally, Evan and Mark discuss the difficult upcoming schedule, the dominance of ace Tarik Skubal and how the roster will change in the near future with Casey Mize's injury and Matt Vierling's rehab assignment. Skubal is the first player in MLB history to have a six-start stretch with at least 50 strikeouts, no more than one walk and an ERA below 1.00, but is he entering Justin Verlander territory? We explain what that means, and why it's happening now. Evan and Mark also evaluate Jack Flaherty's fastball and provide an update on Parker Meadows' injury. Follow Evan on X/Twitter here.

We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story.

The Roberto Clemente Award is the most prestigious award in MLB. The Roberto Clemente Award is bestowed annually to the player who best represents the game of Baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field. Past winners include Willie Mays, Willie Stargel, Rod Crew, Don Baylor, Curtis Granderson, and Derek Jeter. And in 2023, five of the nominees are African American. That's five African-American players out of thirty nominations. That's 16.6%. The players are Tony Kemp (A's), Marcus Stroman (Cubs), Jojo Gray (Nats), Aaron Judge (NYY), and Hunter Greene (Reds). What a tremendous honor. If you add the nine LatinX players that are nominated, that makes nearly half the league. I truly love how this game is growing, and I am happy to share this information. Salute to every player nominated regardless of race. It's a stellar accomplishment.

Curtis Granderson has his hands full these days. He juggles a schedule including his pre and post assignment for TBS's Tuesday night baseball along with the post season, his role as president of the Players Alliance, his responsibilities with the baseball and educational academy and the GrandKids Foundation. All of this fashioned during and after an excellent 16 year career playing for 7 teams while hitting 344 homers and driving in almost a thousand runs! Granderson began his career with the Detroit Tigers but he also made stops in New York with both the Yankees and Mets yet never played for his home town teams, The Cubs or White Sox. He said he would have loved that yet he's not disappointed because it might have been difficult. Every time he came to town there were friends, tickets and so many things to do he would wind up exhausted after a series.“The reason I say no is part of it is after that two, three or four game series in town playing one of the two teams I would be so exhausted because I was seeing everyone and doing so many things," he says on the show.Granderson lives very close to the University of Illinois at Chicago baseball field, named in his honor him after he donated five million dollars to build it. It was a way to also help kids in the area have the experiment of playing on a college field."I wanted the kids in the area an opportunity to play, practice and train on a college campus.”To say the least, Granderson is not only a citizen of Chicago but to many communities and the game of baseball.His story is part of the long list of great guests on "Tell Me A Story I Don't Know" and make sure to get more great episodes on the Last Word on Sports Media Podcast feed through Apple Podcasts, Google, Spotify, etc.!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Every time he came to town there were friends, tickets and so many things to do he would wind up exhausted after a series.“The reason I say no is part of it is after that two, three or four game series in town playing one of the two teams I would be so exhausted because I was seeing everyone and doing so many things," he says on the show.Granderson lives very close to the University of Illinois at Chicago baseball field, named in his honor him after he donated five million dollars to build it. It was a way to also help kids in the area have the experiment of playing on a college field."I wanted the kids in the area an opportunity to play, practice and train on a college campus.”To say the least, Granderson is not only a citizen of Chicago but to many communities and the game of baseball.His story is part of the long list of great guests on "Tell Me A Story I Don't Know" and make sure to get more great episodes on the Last Word on Sports Media Podcast feed through Apple Podcasts, Google, Spotify, etc.!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hour 4: Gio gave a guitar lesson yesterday to someone who won it for Hungerthon. The guy is a bariatric weight loss surgeon. We talked about BMI and why it doesn't make much sense. Buzz, No Buzz: NY Knicks. A caller said other than Boomer, everybody else was dressed like a slob during the Arizona shows. C-Lo returns for an update, but first Curtis Granderson is in the hall stuck in a conversation with our production guy, Zach. Curtis Granderson and Edwin Jackson pop in to talk about being tossed from games and throwing at players. Then CC Sabathia pops in. C-Lo comes back in to finish his update. We played sound from Kyrie after last night's game where he had a dominant fourth quarter. A couple was married at halftime of the Mavericks game. And the show ends with Moment of the Day.

Hour 1: Boomer made news yesterday for correctly reporting that Keith Hernandez was going to be back with SNY. The show also made news with a tweet saying more callers were interested in talking about Rihanna smelling her fingers than the actual game. The Jets hired a passing game coordinator with ties to Derek Carr. We talked about the potential of Derek Carr to the Jets and what team might be their competition. Boomer wonders what Jalen Hurts is worth on the open market. C-Lo is in for Jerry. The Knicks beat the Nets with a big 40 point game from Jalen Brunson. A mystery arises regarding where Al Dukes is during the segment. Boomer gleefully hopes it's Norovirus. We go around the high scoring NBA. Aaron Rodgers hasn't gone into the “darkness” yet. In the final segment of the hour, Al returns and discusses his conversation with Spike during the last segment when he was missing. It was about podcasting.  Hour 2: Gio wonders why Daniel Jones doesn't want to listen to offers from other teams knowing how crazy the money being offered to them is right now. Boomer said the Giants could franchise tag him so that's why he's not listening to offers from other teams. Where might Lamar Jackson end up? Boomer wonders about Atlanta. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with the Knicks beating the Nets at MSG. Kyrie had a big fourth quarter for the Mavericks last night. Patrick Mahomes talked about the advice his father has given him over the years. C-Lo wonders why Nick Sirianni crying during the anthem was such a big deal. In the final segment of the hour, Patrick Mahomes is Boomer's Valentine today.  Hour 3: Boomer had a lot of Dicks on his coaching staff at one point in his career. We talked about how many more coaches there are for every NFL team now. C-Lo is here for an update but first Gio tells us of a Valentines Day where his wife cried because he didn't get flowers. The Knicks beat the Nets behind 40 points from Jalen Brunson. Patrick Mahomes Sr was smoking on that ‘Philly Blunt' after the game. MLB has new rules for position players pitching. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the Jets keeping Zach Wilson or not. Boomer doesn't think it's a good idea if they get Derek Carr. What will happen when Aaron Rodgers comes out of the dark isolation box? Hour 4: Gio gave a guitar lesson yesterday to someone who won it for Hungerthon. The guy is a bariatric weight loss surgeon. We talked about BMI and why it doesn't make much sense. Buzz, No Buzz: NY Knicks. A caller said other than Boomer, everybody else was dressed like a slob during the Arizona shows. C-Lo returns for an update, but first Curtis Granderson is in the hall stuck in a conversation with our production guy, Zach. Curtis Granderson and Edwin Jackson pop in to talk about being tossed from games and throwing at players. Then CC Sabathia pops in. C-Lo comes back in to finish his update.
