The Tigers may still buy at this year's MLB trade deadline, but Shane Greene's struggles indicate they should have made a move sooner.
We tried our best to find a silver lining after Shane Greene's start against the Seattle Mariners on July 21, when he allowed five runs on 4 2/3 innings in a heartbreaking 11-9 loss. The first inning didn't go well, but a cutter-heavy approach could help him patch things over until the Detroit Tigers could acquire another starting pitcher at the trade deadline, right?
Wrong. Greene was shelled again on Sunday, allowing five runs on 11 hits in 4 1/3 innings against the Boston Red Sox.
