Here is an alarming prospect, the Detroit Tigers have just two proven Major League starter pitchers on their roster from 2015 in Anibal Sanchez and Justin Verlander.
Sanchez has come on lately, but his knack for allowing homers with a diminished fastball velocity and the fact that Verlander is still looking for his first victory of the 2015 season is troubling. This is why that it appears the Tigers do not want a bunch of low minor league prospects if they trade their ace, they want a guy or guys that will be impactful starters on the 2016 team.
