For the Detroit Tigers, it will be a little like 5 a.m. on past Black Fridays, when folks have lined up to lay hands on the best and earliest shopping bargains available.
The Tigers even have their own, first-in-line reservation when the second through fifth rounds of the 2020 MLB Draft convene at 5 p.m.
That first pick of the evening, at No. 38 overall, is Detroit property, just as the Tigers had first turn Wednesday and seized Arizona State basher Spencer Torkelson.
But Thursday night’s decision is all but certain to be less clear, less definitive.
