The Detroit waited until the very last minute, but were able to get a deal done with the Baltimore Orioles just before the MLB trade deadline expired at 6 p.m. ET on Thursday.

Detroit is well out in front of the AL Central, and has one of the best records in all of baseball. But fans are still likely to be a little disappointed with the marginal upgrades Scott Harris and the Tigers front office made at this year's trade deadline.
