We all wanted to believe.
After getting staggered by a nine-game losing streak to open the month of June, the Detroit Tigers did an admirable job stabilizing the situation considering the personnel on the injured list. Well into July they were in good enough position that a winning streak could have changed the equation at the trade deadline. But despite the return of Riley Greene, Eduardo Rodriguez, Matt Manning, Kerry Carpenter, and Tarik Skubal, they haven’t been able to put together an extended run convincing enough to change course.
It’s time to sell again.
The truth is that the Tigers are still in a fairly treacherous situation.
