Detroit Tigers likely to snub former first-rounder from Opening Day roster
The Detroit Tigers are heading toward their final round of cuts, looking to iron out their bullpen -- likely snubbing Alex Faedo and Beau Brieske.
With options remaining, Alex Faedo is likely to be sent down to Triple-A ahead of Opening Day. He'd get snubbed from the Detroit Tigers roster after a great spring performance.

Tigers youngster Sawyer Gipson-Long once appeared likely to compete with other youngsters such as Casey Mize, Reese Olson, and Matt Manning for a role in the club’s starting rotation alongside Tarik Skubal, Jack Flaherty, and Kenta Maeda. Unfortunately for Gipson-Long, he’s been nursing a left groin strain throughout camp that will lead to him opening the season on the injured list.
Gipson-Long, who the club acquired at the 2022 trade deadline in exchange for right-hander Michael Fulmer, made his big league debut late in the season last year and impressed during four starts in the majors. In 20 innings of work, the right-hander posted a 2.70 ERA with a 3.16 FIP while striking out an excellent 31.7% of batters faced. With Mize and Olson now set to start the season in the rotation, Gipson-Long figures to head to Triple-A Toledo once healthy, where he’ll provide Detroit with quality rotation depth alongside Matt Manning and wait for an opportunity in the big leagues.

1951: Hall of Fame player/manager Eddie Collins dies in Boston, Massachusetts, at the age of 63. Collins batted .333 and stole 744 bases over a 25-year career, and batted .328 in six World Series with the Chicago White Sox and Philadelphia Athletics.

Both players have several years left on their contracts, while Lofton, considered the best leadoff hitter in major league baseball.
1997: The Kansas City Royals release Bob Hamelin, the 1994 American League Rookie of the Year. The 29-year-old Hamelin never lived up to his first year, when he smacked 24 home runs in a strike-shortened season. The Detroit Tigers will sign Hamelin to a minor-league contract.

After the break, the "Days of Roar" crew welcome Star Tribune's Minnesota Twins reporter Bobby Nightengale on to the show.
