Tigers set their Opening Day roster in terms of position players

While we wait for the Detroit Tigers to make their final roster decisions for the starting rotation and the bullpen, the active roster is now set for Opening Day in terms of position players. For most, the results won’t come as a surprise. The club more or less set the positional roster from the moment they signed Gio Urshela in late February to shore up the infield group.

However, both Justyn-Henry Malloy and Ryan Kreidler had really good camps, making the final decisions at least a little interesting. Akil Baddoo, on the other hand, struggled in camp and really didn’t show anything new to change perceptions.
