DETROIT — Tigers players were greeted at their lockers Monday with ‘‘El Mago’’ T-shirts draped over their chairs.
It was a nickname shortstop Javy Baez earned with the Cubs, but these warmups were dark blue with orange writing, a bridge between the place Baez began his career and the team he’s under contract with for the next four seasons. On Monday, Baez faced the Cubs for the first time since they traded him to the Mets in July 2021.
