Tigers' AJ Hinch, Al Avila wonder: Did we miss anything with Isaac Paredes?

Detroit — The trade was overwhelmingly applauded at the time.

At least from the fans' perspective, it's quite the opposite now — the Tigers' spring swap, which landed Detroit a slugger in Austin Meadows and sent an unproven prospect to Tampa Bay in Isaac Paredes.

Paredes has been on absolute tear in Tampa Bay, with 13 homers and 28 RBIs in 43 games. He has a .902 OPS, while no Tiger who has played at least as many games has an OPS over .720. Meanwhile, Meadows has had a disastrous year, because of a variety of ailments.
