Amid the intense interaction, the ball cleared the wall in left-center field for a grand slam. Báez, signed to a six-year, $140 million contract this past offseason, is
He needed a moment like this. The introduction of Javier Báez to the Detroit Tigers’ fanbase has been rough, to say the least.

The Detroit Tigers entered the season with several candidates for regression. Some of those players, like Eric Haase, had solidified roles for 2022 throughout the offseason and into spring training. Haase took on a utility role: backup catcher, sometimes left fielder and pinch-hitter against left-handed pitchers. He thought he might play some first base too, but that hasn’t
