It was a rough weekend for the Tigers.
Happy Monday, BYB readers. Here’s a little micro news roundup of what you might have missed this weekend. The Tigers are juggling a few injuries. While (at the time of this writing) Kerry Carpenter is not on the IL, we will obviously update when we know more.
There are also more fun tidbits, like which MLB superstar is not only MVP but now Number 1 Dad as well, what’s the deal with hot dog prices (cue Jerry Seinfeld impression), and why Rob Manfred wants to send Dodgers fans to Anaheim.
Let’s jump into it.
