I asked my colleague Derick Hutchinson if any of the moves surprised him -- he said no. In fact, according to Derick, Jobe and Madden were told at the start of camp that they wouldn’t be on the major league roster.

The Tigers open the season on March 28 in Chicago, and in Detroit on April 5 vs. Oakland.
