Previewing Detroit’s Spring Training Position Battles

Heading into the first week of Spring Training games, the Detroit Tigers’ starting lineups and rotation are mostly set. But, there are some interesting roster battles taking place for the utility players and for the 4th outfielder. And, with the new addition to the roster, who will the Tigers take north as their 26th man.

Third Base

The third base job may be the only starting lineup position that is an open race right now. Both Dawel Lugo and Jeimer Candelario are out of options and must make the team or be exposed to the waiver wire.
