Jeimer Candelario, trade chip? A look at why it might be a prudent move for Tigers

Detroit — Here’s a topic to chew on: Should the Tigers be receptive to trade offers for Jeimer Candelario before the July 30 deadline?

Some ground rules before we go further with this discussion:

While the Tigers have taken some exploratory calls on Candelario from other teams — they have taken cursory calls on several players — he is not being actively shopped. Nor is he untouchable. In fact, you can probably count on one hand the number of players on the Tigers’ 40-man roster who are untouchable.

You might only need three fingers, maybe four.
