Detroit Tigers' spring training complex in Florida 'escaped the wrath' of Hurricane Ian

Members of the Detroit Tigers spent the weekend assessing the damage from Hurricane Ian, which has killed dozen and left millions without power, at Joker Marchant Stadium and the team's spring training complex in Lakeland, Florida.

Staffers cleaned up after the destructive Category 4 hurricane at the TigerTown grounds over the last four days. The Tigers' facility sustained minor damages and will be fully operational for 2023 spring training.

"We certainly escaped the wrath of Ian," Dan Lunetta, Tigers' director of minor league operations, said Saturday afternoon. "The more images I see from Fort Myers and that area, the more I realize just how devastating this storm was and how fortunate we are.
