LAKELAND, Fla. — Spring training is here, and the Detroit Tigers face unanswered questions.
The Tigers don't have a solidified first baseman, and the opening at third base is just as unclear. Managing young arms — Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal and Matt Manning — and bounce-back candidates — Matthew Boyd, Michael Fulmer and Jose Urena — with innings limits keeps the organization wondering if a six-man rotation is inevitable.
"Today we had our staff meeting, my first staff meeting with them," Tigers general manager Al Avila said Tuesday.
