Savannah Bananas Return To Michigan Next Summer: What To Know

This past season, the team traded away two-time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers. It's hard to say what next season will look like, but no matter how things go with the Tigers, baseball fans will have at least two games to look forward to.

Instead, the games will be held on June 25th and June 26th and will feature a matchup between the Party Animals and the Clowns.

You can enter the ticket lottery here, as tickets for each game are limited. If you can't get tickets, worry not: the games will be streamed on YouTube.
