Tigers Players Took Control of Team's Social Account, Sparked Hilarity and Confusion

Tigers pitchers and catchers reported to spring training on Feb. 12, while the team held their first full squad workout Monday. They have their first spring-training game Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies.
