Our coverage of spring training continues with Evan still reporting from Lakeland. Evan joins Mark remotely to discuss the recent signing of Gio Urshela. The guys break down if Urshela is likely to be the everyday third baseman, analyze how the deal could benefit the Tigers, and bring up some questions on his health history. The “Days of Roar” crew also go over Evan’s roster prediction 3.0 (https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2024/02/25/detroit-tigers-mlb-roster-prediction-are-the-position-players-locked-in/72718460007/) . Later, the guys discuss the upsides to this lineup, the possibility of Báez hitting left-handed, how Casey Mize has looked so far and more.
