The 2023 Major League Baseball trade deadline is set for 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Detroit Tigers left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, whose 2.1 fWAR leads the starting rotation, is lined up to start that evening's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park, but since first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m., he probably won't take the mound.
By that point, he is expected to be with a different team.
That's because the Tigers (46-54) are falling further behind in their pursuit of contending in the American League Central. They're seven games behind the first-place Minnesota Twins with 62 games to play.
