The Tampa Bay Rays took care of business in a series victory against division rivals the Toronto Blue Jays. They have won all three series against American League East opponents. Next up are the Detroit Tigers.
The Tigers looked to make additions this winter and build upon an up-and-coming prospect core. They signed Eduardo Rodriguez and Javier Baez to long-term free agent contracts and traded for Austin Meadows from the Rays. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone well for the Tigers as they sit at 12-23. They looked to get well in a three-game sweep against the Baltimore Orioles after dropping 9 of their previous ten games.
