MLB
As expected, Tigers games will be televised by Major League Baseball this summer. Detroit is among a number of franchises that have pulled their telecasts from the Fanduel Sports Network, which is owned by the Main Street Sports Group. Main Street is believed to be headed to bankruptcy court for the second time very soon.
The Red Wings, which are also owned by Ilitch Sports + Entertainment, are also dropping their affiliation with Main Street. The Ilitch company will produce their telecasts, and MLB will help with distribution.
The Brewers and Red Sox pulled off a six-player trade yesterday. Milwaukee gets pitchers Kyle Harrison and Shane Drohan, and infielder David Hamilton. Boston gets infielders Caleb Durbin, Andruw Monasterio and Anthony Seigler. The trade leaves the Brewers with a hole at third base, but Harrison is viewed as a candidate for the starting rotation.
NFL
Former Lions defensive end Tracy Scroggins has died. Scroggins recorded 60 sacks over 10 seasons with Detroit, and is third on the team’s all-time list. The cause of death has not been released. He was just 56 years old.
