In this episode of 162 Begins, we get you ready for Opening Day as the Detroit Tigers kick off the season in San Diego. With first pitch right around the corner, we break down the final 26-man roster—who made the cut (McGonigle!) , who just missed, and what it all means for this team heading into 2026.

We dive into the biggest roster decisions, surprising inclusions, and notable omissions, plus how the pitching staff and lineup are shaping up for Game 1. Who earned their spot? Who got squeezed out? And what questions still remain as the long grind of 162 games begins?

The season starts now—and we’ve got you covered.
