December 1 in Tigers and mlb history:

1942 - At major league meetings in Chicago, World War II travel restrictions are the order of the day. Owners decide to restrict travel to a three-trip schedule rather than the customary four. Spring training in 1943 will be limited to locations north of the Potomac or Ohio rivers and east of the Mississippi.

1949 - Attendance in the major leagues is 20.2 million, down from 20.9 in 1948.

1955 - The Detroit Tigers bring back pitcher Virgil Trucks after a trade with the Chicago White Sox for third baseman Bubba Phillips.

1962 - A complete overhaul of the classifications in the minor leagues is made. The Eastern and South Atlantic leagues are promoted from Class-A to Class-AA.
Meanwhile, classes B, C and D are abolished with those leagues being promoted to Class-A.
The Class-B leagues were the Carolina and Northwest leagues;
the Class-C leagues were the California, Mexican Center, Northern and Pioneer leagues.
The Class-D leagues were the Florida State, Georgia-Florida, Midwest, New York-Pennsylvania and Western Carolinas leagues.
The Appalachian League moves from Class-D to Rookie classification.

1963 - Major league owners agree to allow the expansion clubs four protected first-year players who can be optioned to the minors without being subject to a draft.

More news coming out on MLB / MLBPA agreement;
http://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2016/12/01/mlb-all-star-game-world-series/94722148/
MLB All-Star Game will no longer decide World Series home-field.

All-Star Game no longer determines Series home-field advantage.
Detnews

The league that wins baseball’s All-Star Game no longer will get home-field advantage in the World Series, which instead will go to the pennant winner with the better regular-season record.

In addition, players and management agreed the minimum stay on the disabled list will be reduced from 15 days to 10.

Sources say every team will have a total bonus pool of about $5 million to sign foreign-born amateur players. And they can't exceed that cap.

Sources say there are no significant changes to PED penalties or pace-of-play rules in this labor deal. Those can be negotiated separately.

One item in the labor deal that deserves attention: Smokeless tobacco banned for all first-time big-leaguers. Current players unaffected.

CHANGES COMING FOR BIG-MARKET CLUBS?
Under previous versions of the CBA's luxury tax, the highest tax rate a team could pay was 50 percent, but that's no longer the case. Even with the threshold increasing to $195 million in 2017, the Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox and Tigers would have been over this year.
