For the most part, Scott Harris' trade deadline acquisitions have done quick work proving that the Tigers' strategy made little-to-no sense. Kyle Finnegan has yet to give up a run and has already put up three saves, but the rest — Chris Paddack, Charlie Morton, Rafael Montero — have already shown major cracks. And who knows if Paul Sewald will even pitch again this season?
The latest indictment on Harris' strategy arrived Wednesday: the Tigers optioned Codi Heuer, who was acquired in a cash trade with the Rangers, to Triple-A and reinstated Sawyer Gipson-Long from the IL.
