Clearwater, Fla. — There are just two issues to settle before the Tigers break camp — the final spot in the bullpen and the final two position-player spots.
That was what was left after the Tigers reassigned eight players Thursday morning.
Sent to Triple-A Toledo were left-handers Blaine Hardy and Chad Bell. Reassigned to minor-league camp were catchers Derek Norris and Jarrod Saltalamacchia, utility players Pete Kozma and Ronny Rodriguez, and outfielders Jim Adduci and Chad Huffman.
The roster stands at 28.
“We’re close, real close,” manager Ron Gardenhire said before the Tigers played the Phillies.
