DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
Totally Tigers
The Detroit Tigers will be sellers once again at this trade deadline and they have 4 clear trade candidates. Eduardo Rodriguez who is widely expected to opt out of his contract and Michael Lorenzen, Chasen Shreve and Jose Cisnero who are on expiring contracts.
All 4 are considered to be rentals, thus lowering their value. They are not expected to receive solid MLB-experienced players in return, nor a team?s top-ranked prospects because of that.
Should the Tigers trade 1 or more of these 4 pitchers, what is your preference for the type of player?
Do you want the Tigers to acquire players with MLB experience who can be plugged into the current roster?
Or would you prefer that they get minor league prospects who can be developed by the Tigers new player development program and also provide depth to the team?
Prospects would most likely be ranked higher than MLB-ready players.
Today?s blog addresses this dilemma and allows readers to share their thoughts in more detail. And hopefully, to actively engage with others by responding to their posts and creating back-and-forth discussion threads. The more the merrier!
