Detroit — Flash ahead, almost seven months, to a place the Tigers vacated Sunday.
Comerica Park.
It will be a reshaped Tigers team that assembles here next April, beginning with a roster that likely will be pruned and replaced in as many as eight or even 10 places.
Sunday not only was the scene of a 7-1 loss to the Twins in the Tigers’ final home game of 2015. It was the stage on which many players who have little chance of returning probably had their curtain calls as Tigers.
It was the place, also, where Tigers manager Brad Ausmus could talk with security about next year and about hopes that never came close to materializing in the Tigers’ first non-playoff season since 2010.
