Why Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera wants Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene to make Opening Day roster

LAKELAND, Fla. — Spencer Torkelson stood near first base.

The 2020 No. 1 overall pick was the only first baseman present — no Miguel Cabrera in sight — as the Detroit Tigers went through infield drills Sunday on MLB's mandatory report date for spring training.

Third baseman Jeimer Candelario took ground balls at the hot corner, and new shortstop Javier Baez did the same at his position. A group of second basemen, including Isaac Paredes and Willi Castro, managed the right side of the middle infield.
