Major League Baseball officially released the spring training report dates for all teams on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tigers\u2019 pitchers and catchers officially report to Lakeland, Fla., on Feb. 11. The first full-squad workout will be Feb. 15, although players participating in the World Baseball Classic are asked to arrive no later than Feb. 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tigers open the Grapefruit League season on Feb. 21 at Tampa against the New York Yankees. Their home opener in Lakeland, Fla., is Feb. 22 against the Baltimore Orioles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This spring is the Tigers\u2019 61st consecutive season at Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium and 90th in Lakeland. That\u2019s the longest current relationship between an MLB team and a host city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detroit\u2019s final Florida-based game will be March 21 against the Yankees in Lakeland. The Tigers will then head west for two exhibition games on March 23-24 in Scottsdale, Ariz., against the Colorado Rockies before opening the regular season on March 26 in San Diego against the Padres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The home opener in Detroit is April 3 against the St. Louis Cardinals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
