LAKELAND, Fla. — After four long winter months, the Detroit Tigers played catch on Tuesday.
Their pitchers and catchers reported to spring training with perfect attendance and threw a little bit on the backfields of Tiger Town as their 2018 campaign unofficially began. They will formally work out for the first time this spring Wednesday.
But it wasn’t the excitement outside — the Tigers stretched, played catch and ran a little bit — that reflected the rebuilding efforts now underway at the recently-renovated Joker Marchant Stadium.
