It will be Maybin’s third stint with the Tigers, which could well be the most in team history: Players who have had two stints with the team include Brad Ausmus, Willie Blair, Kirk Gibson, Jose Lima and Todd Jones; Ausmus returned to serve as field manager from 2014-17.

MLB announces new rules for 2020, including roster expansion, ways to speed up pace of play.
Freep

Major League Baseball officially announced on Wednesday the adoption of several new rules for the 2020 season, including the somewhat controversial requirement that relief pitchers must face at least three batters or finish the inning before being taken out of the game.

Commissioner Rob Manfred had pushed for the three-batter minimum as a way to cut down on the number of pitching changes during a game and speed up the pace of play.

The only way a pitcher can be taken out in the middle of an inning without facing at least three batters is in case of an injury, which the umpire crew chief would have to confirm.

Other changes:

Roster expansion: Each team will add one player to its game-day roster, increasing the number of active players from 25 to 26. Also, teams are not allowed to carry more than 13 pitchers.

Starting Sept. 1 through the end of the regular season, active rosters of all teams will increase to 28 players, with a maximum of 14 pitchers.

Position players pitching: To cut down on the number of position players taking the mound, the use of non-pitchers will be limited to games in extra innings or games in which one team is winning by six or more runs.

In addition, players who have pitched at least 20 innings and played at least 20 games in the field (as a position player or designated hitter) while getting three or more at-bats can be designated as a two-way player.

Two-way players don't count against the maximum number of pitchers a team can have on its active roster.

Injured list: The current 10-day injured list will be for position players only. Pitchers and two-way players cannot be activated from the injured list for 15 days. And pitchers optioned to the minors must remain there for at least 15 days, unless there is an injury to another pitcher on the major league roster.

Video challenges: Managers will now have 20 seconds to decide whether to challenge an umpire's call. They previously had 30 seconds.

The changes go into effect with the spring training games on March 12.

February 13 in Tigers and mlb history:

1920: Officials organize the Negro National League in a meeting held at the YMCA in Kansas City, Missouri, with the Detroit Stars as a charter member.
Spearheaded by league founder Rube Foster, the NNL will become the most successful of all Negro Leagues ventures and will last until the late 1940s.

1953: The Philadelphia Athletics change the name of Shibe Park to "Connie Mack Stadium", in honor of their longtime owner and manager. Mack was part-owner and manager of the franchise for a record 50 years. The Athletics will depart Philadelphia at the end of the following season, and the Phillies will continue to inhabit Connie Mack Stadium until the end of the 1970 season, when they will move to Veterans Stadium. After being badly damaged in a fire in 1971, Connie Mack Stadium will continue to decay until being torn down in 1976.

1969: Al Kaline, Bart Starr, and Arnold Palmer visit the White House.

1970: Commissioner Bowie Kuhn announces investigation into the "off-field activities" of Denny McLain.

1974: James (Cool Papa) Bell is elected to the Hall of Fame by the Special Committee on the Negro Leagues. Known for his legendary footspeed, Bell joins Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Buck Leonard and Monte Irvin, as Negro Leagues greats selected to the Hall.

1987: Detroit Tigers pitcher Jack Morris is awarded a $1.85 million salary by arbitrator Richard Bloch, the highest amount awarded to date through the salary arbitration process.

1993: The Detroit Tigers signed Willie Fraser as a free agent.

1995: The Los Angeles Dodgers sign Japanese pitching star Hideo Nomo to a contract that includes a $2 million signing bonus. Nomo won 78 games for the Kintetsu Buffaloes over the past four seasons, and he will become the National League Rookie of the Year this year.

2002: The Boston Red Sox sign 43-year-old Rickey Henderson to a minor league contract. Last season with the San Diego Padres, Henderson had his 3000th career hit and broke the major league all-time records for walks and runs.

2008: Roger Clemens and his former personal trainer Brian McNamee spend almost five hours testifying before the U.S. House oversight committee. Both Clemens and McNamee contradict themselves during the course of testimony, providing plenty of fodder for those who criticize the latter as a drug dealer and the former as a user of steroids. Clemens' denials of Human Growth Hormone use look flimsier when teammate Andy Pettitte reveals that Clemens had admitted such usage to him.

2009: The Detroit Tigers signed Jon Huber as a free agent.

2010: Jimmy Lanier dies in Atlanta at age 93. Former neighbor and personal batboy to Ty Cobb.

2018: New inductee Jack Morris visits the Baseball Hall of Fame.

TMLR?s 2020 Second Team College All Americans.

By virtue of their MLB-worst 47-114 record in 2019, the Detroit Tigers have the first overall pick in the upcoming June draft as well as four of the top 75 selections (picks 38, 63, and 75). Given where Detroit?s front office perceives the team to be in the rebuild cycle?with the exception of Riley Greene all of the Tigers? top prospects are in the upper minors?there?s an excellent chance that at least several of these first four picks will come from the college ranks.
To get TMLR readers as familiar as possible with potential future Tigers, we?ve decided to present our first annual College All Americans. Last week we introduced our First Team All Americans and in this article, we roll out the Second Team in advance of the February 14th college opener.

Although we certainly pay attention to each player?s performance in selecting both squads, we base our picks predominantly on each candidate?s projected upside and big-league potential.
