With the MLB trade deadline less than two weeks out, the Detroit Tigers sit in third place of the AL Central with a better-than-expected 44-51 record.
Though they’re 13.5 games out of the division lead and 9.5 behind the second wild card-holding Oakland A’s, the Detroit News’ Chris McCosky reported that GM Al Avila will not be looking to sell assets before the deadline.
The news is likely welcome to most Tiger fans, as the club has been firmly among the “seller” group for the past half-decade. Of course, they’ve rarely had much to sell.
