Here is the Tigers' potential Opening Day roster

The Tigers report to Lakeland, Fla., for Spring Training this week for one of their most talented top-to-bottom rosters in years. They also report with a roster still in potential flux.

“I feel like it’s an evergreen comment, but we’re always looking to make our team better,” president of baseball operations Scott Harris said Friday when asked if the team could get another bat. “There’s still a lot of free agents out there, and there’s still a lot of trade conversations. I don’t know that we’re definitely going to be able to add, but we’re looking to add.”

That uncertainty could loom over Tigers camp, from third base to the outfield. Until then, here’s a first guess at how Detroit’s roster could shake out over the next six weeks:

Catcher (2): Jake Rogers, Dillon Dingler
The Tigers organization is deeper at catcher than it's been in over a decade. Detroit could potentially go with a veteran backup like non-roster invite Tomas Nido if they want Dingler to get more playing time at Triple-A Toledo, but at this point, Dingler is ready for a big league opportunity.

First baseman (2): Colt Keith, Andy Ibá?ez
Keith moves over following a solid rookie season at second base, but whether it results in an everyday role for him remains to be seen. The Tigers have talked about getting him more at-bats against left-handed pitchers, but first base could be the easiest spot to get Ibá?ez at-bats against lefties.

Second baseman (1): Gleyber Torres
Torres will get every chance to get his career back on track after his offense and defense both dropped off last year.

Shortstop (2): Trey Sweeney, Javier Báez
Báez has three years left on his contract, and he’s coming back from hip surgery after posting a 46 OPS+ at the plate and registering a career-low -1.1 bWAR. Sweeney was a hero of the Tigers’ late-season run to the playoffs last year, including a tumbling game-saving catch in Baltimore in September, but he struggled at the plate aside from four home runs.

Third baseman (2): Jace Jung, Matt Vierling
Until Alex Bregman signs somewhere, speculation on his potential fit in this spot will continue. If Bregman signs elsewhere, however, the Tigers are expected to stay in-house with a platoon. Jung still qualifies as a rookie and had flashes of impact in an overall mundane late-season audition, hampered in part by a right wrist injury that required surgery at season’s end. There’s curiosity about what he can do against big league pitching with full power in his swing. Vierling handled the role well in his opportunities last year.

Outfielders (4): Riley Greene, Parker Meadows, Vierling, Wenceel Pérez
If Vierling gets everyday play bouncing between third base and right field, it would bode well for the switch-hitting Pérez’s chances to make the team over a left-handed hitter. Pérez was a regular in right field for much of last summer, and his defense improved as the season wore on. Meadows’ defense alone justifies an everyday role, but his offense upside is tantalizing after an impressive postseason, where he reached base safely in all seven games.

DH (1): Kerry Carpenter
A full, healthy season from Carpenter could be the biggest boost the Tigers could get offensively, with all respect to offseason additions. Greene could get some starts at DH like last year to watch the wear and tear on his legs, allowing Carpenter to get work in right field.

Starting pitchers (5): Tarik Skubal, Jack Flaherty, Reese Olson, Alex Cobb, Jackson Jobe
Flaherty’s return sets up a crowded competition for the fifth spot. The Tigers would like to give Jobe every opportunity to crack the rotation, and Major League Baseball’s Prospect Promotion Incentive would earn Detroit an extra Draft pick if Jobe spends the full season in the Majors and wins Rookie of the Year. Still, the Tigers want to see Jobe take steps to prove he’s ready. And with Casey Mize, Kenta Maeda, Keider Montero, Brant Hurter, Matt Manning and Ty Madden all on the roster, there will be no shortage of options if Jobe isn’t quite ready.

Relief pitchers (8): Beau Brieske, Jason Foley, Sean Guenther, Tyler Holton, Brant Hurter, Tommy Kahnle, Kenta Maeda, Will Vest
The group that dominated down the stretch last year largely returns, creating some simple choices even if the group still lacks a clear-cut closer. Alex Lange, Brenan Hanifee, Chase Lee and Tyler Owens could all steal a spot, but all of them have options left.
