The Tigers' trade deadline strategy is already proving itself to be flawed. Despite a strong first appearance, Chris Paddack fell apart against his former squad; Rafael Montero was just as bad as everyone expected; and Paul Sewald might not even pitch this year. Kyle Finnegan and Charlie Morton have been decent so far, but how much will it actually help?
Scott Harris and the Tigers front office weren't interested in giving up top prospects, and they got away with only dealing two who were ranked.
But the Tigers' pitching is still subpar at best and near impossible to watch at worst, and it has fans regretting all of the trades Detroit didn't make when they still had the chance.
