2022 Detroit Tigers season
The 2022 Detroit Tigers season will be the team's 122nd season. This will be the team's 23rd at Comerica Park. The Tigers' season will begin on the road on March 31 against the Seattle Mariners. This will be the Tigers' second season under manager A.J. Hinch. On December 2, 2021, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred announced a lockout of players, following expiration of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA).[1] Transactions are frozen during the lockout, but players not on a team's 40-man roster can continue to sign minor league contracts, as they are not represented by the MLB Players Association.[2]
