The Detroit Tigers’ Struggle Continues: Will They Make a Move at the Trade Deadline?
The Detroit Tigers have been on a rollercoaster ride this season, starting off strong with the best record in Major League Baseball but recently slipping to the third-best record in the American League. With the trade deadline approaching, the Tigers are in need of some reinforcements to stop the bleeding and maintain their position in the standings.
According to Evan Petzhold of the Detroit Free Press, the Tigers have their sights set on improving their bullpen. With less than a week until the deadline, moves are starting to be made and the Tigers are looking to be buyers this year, unlike last year when they were sellers.
One potential target for the Tigers is St. Louis Cardinals reliever Phil Maton, as proposed by Brendan Strieker of FanSided. The Tigers’ bullpen has been a weak spot this season, ranking 21st in the league with a 4.06 ERA and the 3rd-worst bullpen K%. Maton, with his 2.41 ERA this season, could provide the much-needed boost to the Tigers’ bullpen.
The Cardinals, who are likely to sell off expiring contracts, could be open to a trade for Maton. The Tigers, with one of the deepest farm systems in baseball, have the resources to make a move for the high-leverage reliever. It remains to be seen if the Tigers will make the call to the Cardinals and pull off the potential trade.
As the trade deadline approaches, all eyes will be on the Tigers to see if they can make a move to improve their roster and make a push for the top spot in the American League. Stay tuned for more updates on the Tigers and other MLB trade deadline news.
