Ultimately, the Detroit Tigers did little of consequence at the trade deadline, despite holding a huge lead in the division and watching just about every other contender make a push. They built up depth in areas of weakness, but didn’t land any notably impactful players. We’ll have to grapple with that and what it says about Scott Harris going forward in the days to come.
Before the deadline hit, they did make one more trade, and it’s kind of a strange one, and yes, no more costly than the rest of the bargain bin shopping and salary dumps the Tigers accumulated today.
