"J.D. Martinez is going to get dealt," Henning said. "I think that's certain. He's going to go for a handsome package close to what (Yoenis) Cespedes and David Price brought two years ago.
"They need more talent and fresh blood in the system in order for them to be competitive for the long haul."
Henning and columnists Bob Wojnowski and John Niyo talked about the state of the Tigers (21-21) after 42 games heading into a 10-game road trip.
