LAKELAND, Fla. — Ron Gardenhire can count.
He knows the Tigers lost 114 games last season. He also realizes it would be tough to do worse.
Gardenhire shared loftier goals with his team to open full squad workouts in Lakeland on Monday.
"People are saying, 'The Tigers should be better this year.' You know what? Why not go out and rule the world?" he said.
Gardenhire pointed out teams can go from last place to first place, and that he was a part of a Twins team that did it.
