Tigers Opening Day roster is almost set

On Sunday, Major league teams announced their lists of players who will participate in summer camp, or spring training 2.0 if you prefer, with up to 60 players eligible to participate starting July 1st. By opening day on July 23rd, teams must pare that list down to 30 players to begin the abbreviated 60 game season. The Detroit Tigers have already made almost all of the necessary roster moves to select their 30 player opening day roster.

Before the month of March had ended, the Tigers optioned a dozen players who are on their 40 man roster to the minor leagues, indicating that those players would not be on the opening day roster.
