Lakeland, Fla. — Taped to the door of the Tigers spring training clubhouse is a huge poster of the Commissioner’s Trophy, which is the prize 30 baseball teams fight for every season.
“I believe this belongs to us,” is written across the top. Then, at the bottom, “Don’t come in here unless you do, too.”
The poster and the call to arms are believed to be the handiwork of Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd.
“I think we all know how close we were to clicking as a team last year,” Boyd said during Tigerfest last month.
