DETROIT -- Anthony Bass grew up in Trenton, Mich., and played college baseball at Wayne State University, where he trained for several winters before moving to Nashville this offseason so he and his wife could be close to her family. He still dreams of pitching one day for the Tigers.
"That would be cool," the right-hander said Saturday from his annual pitching camp at Wayne State. "I was talking with my wife about that. It would be cool to come here and eventually play for the team I grew up rooting for."
As he wades through free agency this offseason, it might not be that far-fetched.
