December 1 in Tigers and mlb history:

1942 - At major league meetings in Chicago, World War II travel restrictions are the order of the day. Owners decide to restrict travel to a three-trip schedule rather than the customary four. Spring training in 1943 will be limited to locations north of the Potomac or Ohio rivers and east of the Mississippi.

1949 - Attendance in the major leagues is 20.2 million, down from 20.9 in 1948.

1955 - The Detroit Tigers bring back pitcher Virgil Trucks after a trade with the Chicago White Sox for third baseman Bubba Phillips.

1962 - A complete overhaul of the classifications in the minor leagues is made. The Eastern and South Atlantic leagues are promoted from Class-A to Class-AA.
Meanwhile, classes B, C and D are abolished with those leagues being promoted to Class-A.
The Class-B leagues were the Carolina and Northwest leagues;
the Class-C leagues were the California, Mexican Center, Northern and Pioneer leagues.
The Class-D leagues were the Florida State, Georgia-Florida, Midwest, New York-Pennsylvania and Western Carolinas leagues.
The Appalachian League moves from Class-D to Rookie classification.

1963 - Major league owners agree to allow the expansion clubs four protected first-year players who can be optioned to the minors without being subject to a draft.

A half hour of travels to all the usual sites I check daily for Tigers and mlb news, and absolutely nothing new. Mlive has nothing since Nov. 27 and Jason Beck nothing since Nov. 23!!

If anyone finds some 'New' Tigers news from now until my return this afternoon please add for everyone. It's a tough time of year without a daily Tigers fix of news.
I'm sure though that soon enough there will be new developments...but days like this make the waiting difficult.

December 2 in Tigers and mlb history:

1916 - The National Commission orders that injured players shall get full pay for the duration of their contracts. The injury clause previously let clubs suspend players after 15 days' pay.

1927 - The St. Louis Browns acquire star outfielder Heinie Manush from the Detroit Tigers in a five-player deal. Manush, who batted .298 for Detroit, will explode with the Browns, batting .378 with 108 RBI and a league-leading 241 hits.

1937 - At the minor league meeting in Milwaukee, WI, the Detroit Tigers send Gee Walker, Marv Owen and Mike Tresh to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Vern Kennedy, Tony Piet and Dixie Walker.
The trade causes an uproar with Tigers fans, and owner Walter Briggs issues an announcement from his Miami, FL home that "the deal was made with my approval". Kennedy will start next season with nine straight wins, but end up the year at 12-9.

1961 - Major league clubs vote to curb bonuses. All first-year players not on major league rosters, except one minor leaguer, can be drafted by any other club for $8,000. Clubs are expected to be unwilling to pay large bonuses for players who will be subject to a draft for just $8,000.

1963: The MLB Rules Committee bans oversized catcher's mitts, effective in 1965.

1974: At the Major League Winter Meetings in New Orleans, LA, the Rules Committee institutes several changes; among the changes is one permitting the use of cowhide, rather than just horsehide, in the manufacture of baseballs.
