This is likely to be the last year where we have to see our divisional rivals 19 times a season, with the 2023 season promising to see more diversity in match-ups with every team facing each other at least once every year.
Still 2022 is a classic year where we’ll be seeing a lot of our four divisional rivals, so we figured for the first clash between the Royals and Tigers we would see how the offseason treated their team, how former Tiger JaCoby Jones fared in spring training, and where the Royals seem poised to end the season.
