Hey remember that startup sports league called “Major League Baseball”? It’s back after a near 100-day long lockout.
The 2022 MLB season begins at 1:20 with the Milwaukee Brewers taking on the Chicago Cubs. Later that night, the defending World Series champion checks notes Atlanta Braves?! That can’t be right. They’ll raise their banner against the Cincinnati Reds (who now employ Jake Fraley).
A total of six former Tigers are on Opening Day rosters. They are:
- Alex Bregman, Houston Astros
- Jake Fraley, Cincinnati Reds
- Kevin Gausman, Toronto Blue Jays
- Will Harris, Washington Nationals
- Alex Lange, Detroit Tigers
- DJ LeMahieu, New York Yankees
- Aaron Nola, Philadelphia Phillies
- Austin Nola, San Diego Padres
Bregman and the defending AL Champion Astros.
