Inbox: Iglesias running out of suitors?

Emptying out the Tigers mailbag with Tuesday's non-waiver Trade Deadline just hours away.

The Phillies had scouts watching the Tigers after the All-Star break, which made them seem like a potential suitor for shortstop Jose Iglesias given their need for a middle infielder. Once the Phils acquired Asdrubal Cabrera from the Mets, though, they might have filled the void. The D-backs didn't show much interest in Iglesias before trading for Eduardo Escobar. After that, it's difficult to identify a likely destination.

I think the days of sellers being able to set a high price and expecting teams to match (or sometimes even exceed) it are over for now, simply due to supply and demand.
