With “Summer Camp 2020” just days away, the Detroit Tigers have their 60-man roster set for the shortened season, minus two spots that will be announced the next day with the signing of Torkelson and the corresponding move. The camp will be held at Comerica Park, with the first pitchers and catchers workout scheduled for July 3.
Baseball America, among others, noted the roster is prospect heavy, which is a good sign that the farm system is showing continued improvement. The new top 50 board at the Tigers Minor League Report has a heavy dose of the 2020 draft picks in the top 30 and that may have helped them catch up with their division rivals.
