It’s a new era for the Detroit Tigers.
They open the 2023 MLB season with a new regime, led by president of baseball operations Scott Harris, who replaces fired general manager Al Avila. They’re coming off a disappointing 66-96 season, finishing fourth place in the AL Central in a season when many thought they could be a surprise playoff contender.

While expectations are tempered for the Tigers in 2023, there remain plenty of storylines and intrigue around the team. Will Spencer Torkelson, the former No. 1 overall pick, finally break out? How will Miguel Cabrera look in his final season with the team? Will we see Casey Mize, still out following Tommy John and back surgeries, pitch at any point this season?
