General Manager Dave Dombrowski and the Detroit Tigers made a plethora of moves this offseason in an attempt to keep the squad among the ranks of contenders in the American League.
Alfredo Simon allowed six first-inning runs before settling down with two shutout innings. Joe Nathan, Joba Chamberlain and Joakim Soria also pitched scoreless inning for the Tigers.
Price told reporters Friday that he was so sure Verlander would be starting on Opening Day that Price told his family members to schedule their trip to Detroit for the second game of the season.
The choice comes as a bit of a surprise considering Justin Verlander has started Opening Day each of the last seven seasons.
The two most venerable starting pitchers for the Tigers had a little Twitter fun at the expense of manager Brad Ausmus on Friday morning.
Drafted in the first round of the 2011 Draft eighth overall as a 17-year-old, Lindor has rapidly risen through the Tribe's Minor League system and he appears to be on the cusp of the Major Leagues at just 21 years old … though his Indians' debut won't come right away.
The Mets were hoping they had acquired their catcher of the future when they traded for d'Arnaud in 2013. After a slow start to his Mets career he broke out late last season and looks poised for a big year this season.
Is this really what the world would be like if all our grandparents created an Instagram account?
Bryce Harper agreed: He looked as if he was taking his time getting to the ball. That was the plan.

Max Scherzer pitched four shutout innings and Dan Uggla hit his first home run of the spring Sunday in the Washington Nationals' 3-2 loss to the Houston Astros.
Spring Training is a time for all ball players to work out the kinks and get ready for the start of the regular season. One thing they shouldn't have to work on is dressing themselves...
Sanchez gave up four runs on four hits and a walk in four innings. He was 8-5 with a 3.43 ERA last year.
Pineda struck out four, including three in the second inning, and walked one. He retired eight in a row before walking and then picking Andrew Romine off first base.
The left-hander was traded with Miguel Cabrera to Detroit after the 2007 season. Willis has been with seven other major league organizations since then.
One event in particular grabbed fans attention as catcher James McCann turned some heads.
While Gattis' questionable catcher skills were a big reason he was jettisoned, the presence of prospect Christian Bethancourt was another, and the timing was right to give the 23-year-old the chance in 2015.
"I don't care, to be honest," Nathan said. "You know, those guys, to be honest with you, aren't even on my mind."
"When I embarked on this journey way back at breakfast," Ferrell said, "I thought to myself, 'Could I do it?' The answer is yes."
Now he shifts from the silver screen to the baseball diamond for one of his wackiest stunts yet.
As you can see in the video, Max is keeping count on his fingers.
Normally, a player entering his sixth full season in the bigs has too much experience for a list like this, but digging deeper, Drew Storen fits here. The Nationals on paper are stacked, with established studs in their rotation from top to bottom and starters set at each position on the field.
A trade is more likely to come midseason, if at all, but the Phillies can feel confident that when the time comes, Ken Giles is waiting in the wings.
As a fan long before he was a player and manager, Ausmus can see how fans might be upset at the recent departures of Scherzer and Suh.
Sometimes it's best not to mess with a good thing, and Aaron Sanchez in the back end of the Blue Jays' bullpen near the end of the 2014 season was a very good thing.
