After a sweep to start the week, the Detroit Tigers are back in the thick of things in the American League Central race. A lot could change in terms of standings between now and the August 1 trade deadline but as for now the Tigers are winning and the Cleveland Indians are not. Now only 2.5 games back in the wild card standings and four games behind Cleveland in AL Central, it is time for General Manager Al Avila to go to work.
Up until a few days ago, it was the consensus among Tigers fans that if the team was going to buy, they would need to add pitching.
