The Detroit Tigers enter the second half of the season as the best team in baseball, and they are all but guaranteed to be buyers at the July 31 trade deadline.
There are some clear areas of need that president of baseball operations Scott Harris and the front office need to address, beginning with the bullpen. There are always relief arms available ahead of the trade deadline, but the price of doing business will depend on how close to the top of the market the Tigers are willing to get.
Detroit entered the season with the top-ranked farm system in baseball according to MLB Pipeline, but adding reinforcements to their Major League roster at the deadline could come at the expense of some of their highly-touted prospects.
