Veteran Detroit baseball writer Lynn Henning, who was a full-time reporter and columnist for The Detroit News for 40 years, has launched a Substack page about the Detroit Tigers titled "Tigers Intelligence Report."
Henning describes the page as "all-things Tigers" and "a year-round feast of big-league and minor-league news, analysis, opinion, and conversation."
Henning, who took a buyout from The News in 2019, has since been freelancing stories for the publication, providing keen insights into the team and its farm club.
In an email message, he writes:
"After 40-plus years with the Detroit News, a relationship that still continues cordially, I'm taking my Tigers coverage to a new venue: Tigers Intelligence Report, on Substack.com."
He writes on his substack page about his latest venture:
We’ll see what’s ahead on our end in coming days and, hopefully, years, as Tigers Intelligence Report launches a bid to bring solid Tigers reporting and conversation to a crowd that loves talking baseball.
The mission begins this week at spring camp in Lakeland, Fla. It will continue throughout the season and year. No offseason hibernation. Tigers Intelligence Report will be a 12-month watch, generally three times a week once the regular season begins, with twice-weekly parcels planned from October until camp cranks again in February.
Many weeks, depending upon news and events, stories and columns will exceed those three-times, twice-weekly minimums we’re initially planning.
I’ll be writing regularly this week at Lakeland and again during a second spring-training stint in March. We’ll have fresh takes throughout spring camp and the regular season.
The watch – overviews, reporting, conversation, opinion – naturally will span both Detroit’s big-league and minor-league fronts. It has been the Tigers farm where I’ve been working more exclusively since allegedly “retiring” from The Detroit News in 2019 after 40 years there. Minor-league digging will remain a primary gig alongside steady analysis and focus on what’s happening at Comerica Park and beyond.
