The 2022 Detroit Tigers season was the team's 122nd season and the 23rd at Comerica Park. This was the Tigers' second season under manager A. J. Hinch. Opening Day was held on April 8 and they hosted their divisional rival, the Chicago White Sox and the season ended on the road against the Seattle Mariners on October 5.[1] The team wore KB patches in honor of former Tigers player and coach Kimera Bartee who died on December 20, 2021, at the age of 49.[2]

On August 10, after accumulating a 43–68 record, the Tigers fired General Manager Al Avila after 21 seasons with the team.[3] On September 19, the Tigers hired former San Francisco Giants General Manager Scott Harris as their new President of Baseball Operations.[4]

The Tigers finished the season at 66–96, fourth place in their division, and failed to make the playoffs for the eighth consecutive season, tied with the Los Angeles Angels for the longest active playoff drought in the American League and Major League Baseball.[5] Statistically, the Tigers were one of the worst-hitting teams in baseball this season. Their .231 team batting average ranked 25th in the majors, while the team finished dead last (30th) in home runs with 110.[6]

Offseason

Lockout

Main article: 2021–22 Major League Baseball lockout

The expiration of the league's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the Major League Baseball Players Association occurred on December 1, 2021, with no new agreement in place.[7] As a result, the team owners voted unanimously to lockout the players stopping all free agency and trades.[8][9] The next day, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred announced a lockout of players, following expiration of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). On March 10, 2022, the MLB and MLBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, thus ending the lockout. Although MLB previously announced that several series would be cancelled due to the lockout, the agreement provides for a 162-game season, with originally cancelled games to be made up via doubleheaders.[10]

Rule changes

Pursuant to the new CBA, several new rules were instituted for the 2022 season:[11][12]

Also, a draft lottery will be implemented, beginning with the 2023 draft.
