==History== |
|||
The '''Gulf Coast Tigers''' are the Rookie Level [[Minor League Baseball|minor league]] affiliate of the [[Detroit Tigers]]. The team plays in [[Lakeland, Florida]], at [[Joker Marchant Stadium]]. The team is composed mainly of players who are in their first year of [[professional baseball]] either as [[draftees]] or non-drafted [[free agents]] from the [[United States]], [[Canada]], [[Dominican Republic]], [[Venezuela]], and other countries. The team's main purpose is to get players ready for the Major League. Some of Detroit's starting players or frequently used players were on this team at one time. |
|||
The team first played in the [[Gulf Coast League]] (GCL) during the 1968 season. After then being absent for over 25 years, the team returned to the league in 1995 and has competed continuously since then. |
|||
Starting with the 2016 season, the team has fielded two squads in the league, differentiated with "East" and "West" suffixes. The second team was created due to the cancellation of the [[Venezuelan Summer League]], which left the Tigers with a roster full of players with no team. Most of these players were assigned to one of the two GCL squads, although some were assigned to the Tigers affiliate in the [[Dominican Summer League]]. |
