MIAMI (CBSMiami/SportsDirect) – Opening Day is upon us and both teams playing at Marlins Park are hoping for a better year than in 2015.

An offseason of heavy investment is how the Detroit Tigers reacted to finishing last in the American League Central following four consecutive division titles, and the journey to validate that expenditure begins in Tuesday’s season opener at the Miami Marlins.

Detroit’s 74 victories in 2015 marked its lowest total since 2005, but closer Francisco Rodriguez, left fielder Justin Upton and starter Jordan Zimmermann represent a $259.
