Now that Super Bowl LVII has concluded, it is time for Major League Baseball to begin preparations for the 2023 season.
Pitchers and catchers have reported to their club’s respective camps in either Florida or Arizona in hopes to build a solid roster that will push them to the World Series. For 12 former Tigers, several are looking to continue honing their craft while others are working to earn a spot on their team’s Opening Day roster.
Keegan Thompson, Casey Mize, and Josh Donaldson headline the 12-member representation, and each of them has a different story.
Thompson, a 10-game winner for the Chicago Cubs in 2022, looks to build off of his successful first full season in the MLB. It will be a comeback season of sorts for Mize, who had two off-season surgeries. Finally, Donaldson looks to return to his usual power-hitting form and bring another championship to the Bronx.
