Detroit Tigers reportedly not interested in trading second baseman Jonathan Schoop
In a 162-game season last year, first baseman Brandon Dixon paced the Detroit Tigers with 15 home runs. But this year, through 32 games, second baseman Jonathan Schoop leads the way with eight.
Schoop, 28, is at the forefront of the Tigers' 16-16 record with 28 games remaining in the shortened season, and general manager Al Avila isn't looking to move him from the organization ahead of Monday's 4 p.m. trade deadline, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi.

He is on a one-year contract and will become a free agent at the end of the year.
