The next 10 days or so are critical to the Tigers? direction at the trade deadline, writes Jason Beck of MLB.com. Beck writes that the Tigers realize the division crown is a long shot at this point, so the question for Detroit becomes whether or not they feel pursuing a Wild Card berth ?as more than a crapshoot.? Contending clubs continue to ask the Tigers what their plan is going to be, Beck writes, but Detroit?s minor league clubs are also still being scouted by potential sellers like the Reds and Padres in the event that they move to add big league help. Even if the Tigers decide to buy at the deadline, payroll will be a factor, according to Beck. He also reminds that while David Price can net a compensatory draft pick this offseason if he signs elsewhere, Yoenis Cespedes cannot, due to a contractual stipulation.

July 16 in Tigers and mlb history:

1909: At Bennett Park, the Tigers and Senators play the longest scoreless game in American League history. Ed Summers pitches the complete game, holding the Nationals to seven hits, two walks (one intentional), while fanning 10. The Nationals' 30-year-old rookie, Bill "Dolly" Gray, allows only one hit before leaving with an injury after eight innings. He is replaced by Bob Groom. Gray will put another entry in the record books next month when he walks seven straight batters. The 0 - 0 contest is called after the 18th inning.

1914: The Tigers, minus Ty Cobb who is nursing a sore thumb, knock out rookie Babe Ruth in the 4th inning and trip the Red Sox, 5 - 2. It is Ruth's first loss.

1952 - Walt Dropo gets two more hits, giving him 15 in four games, which ties the American League record.

1956 - A group headed by Fred Knorr and John Fetzer buys the Detroit Tigers and Briggs Stadium for a record $5.5 million.

1961 - Detroit regains first place with two complete game victories from Phil Regan and Don Mossi. Homeruns by Al Kaline and Don Mossi in the 11 to 1 win over the Kansas City Athletics. Then in the second game, homeruns by Rocky Colavito and Norm Cash lead Detroit to an 8 - 3 win. The Tigers have a record of 58 and 31.

1975 - Commissioner Bowie Kuhn is reelected for a 7-year term.

1994: Detroit defeats Kansas City 13 - 7. Travis Fryman's grand slam powers the Tigers.
