With the trade deadline approaching, the Detroit Tigers find themselves in an advantageous position. With a nearly insurmountable lead in the AL Central, they are forcing their division rivals to take a long, hard look at their own positions and the viability of making a run.
So while Detroit is focused on buying, be it a high-end impact addition like Eugenio Suarez or a more budget-friendly (in terms of prospects) addition that won't get fans' motors running, the rest of the division may have some tough decisions to make ahead.
We all know that the White Sox are in fire sale mode, but the Guardians, Twins, and Royals are all treading water at best.
