LAKELAND, Fla. — The Detroit Tigers may leave Florida with a dozen pitchers and 13 position players to start the 2018 season.
Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire acknowledged on Tuesday that's the split he'd prefer to have heading north, before adding that no final decision has been made.
Gardenhire spoke highly of Rule 5 pick Victor Reyes after he went 3-for-3 with a RBi and run scored in an 8-3 win over the Yankees on Tuesday at Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium.
Right-handed pitcher Mike Fiers, who is dealing with a lower back strain, could begin the season on the disabled list.
