Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

The trade deadline chatter hasn?t really picked up yet, perhaps in large part owing to the tightly packed American League. Jon Heyman of Fan Rag recently took his weekly spin around the A.L., providing a few items of note.
While there has been a bit of buzz around Justin Verlander, the Tigers haven?t asked him to provide a list of teams to which he?d permit a trade.
The Astros, meanwhile, seem to be hoping for a chance at adding a difference-making starter, but don?t know whether such an arm will end up being made available. And the White Sox, unsurprisingly, are ready and willing to get deals done.
 
July 11 in Tigers and mlb history:

1901: The Detroit Tigers signed Davey Crockett as a free agent.

1917: In Detroit, Boston's Babe Ruth tops the Tigers 1 - 0, allowing just Donie Bush's scratch single in the 8th. Ruth deflects the ball but the throw by the shortstop is too late. A pinch triple by Chick Shorten in the 9th drives home the only run. Ruth strikes out Bobby Veach, Sam Crawford and Ty Cobb in the 9th, for the last. In early 1942, in a speech in Los Angeles, Ruth will call this game his greatest thrill. (The Babe also relates to writer John Carmichael that his greatest game was the "called shot" in the 1932 World Series.)

1935: Pete Fox's hitting streak that started on June 13 is stopped after 29 games. The Tigers outfielder bats .397 during his streak 54 for 136.

1937: The Detroit Tigers traded Lindsay Brown and cash to the Brooklyn Dodgers for Ralph Birkofer.

1954: The Detroit Tigers released Ralph Branca.

1973: Jim Northrup knocks in eight runs and scores three times as the Tigers rout the Rangers, 14 - 2. The 3 for 4 performance by the Tiger's leadoff hitter helps him record the 500th run and RBI of his career.

1973: The Detroit Tigers signed Mark Lemongello as an amateur free agent.

1985: Nolan Ryan becomes the first pitcher to record 4,000 strikeouts, fanning Danny Heep in the 6th inning of Houston's 4 - 3 win over the Mets. Ryan finishes with 11 strikeouts in seven innings but gets no decision.

2003: The Detroit Tigers released Wendell Magee.

2006: 2006: Kenny Rogers & Pudge Rodriguez become Tigers' 1st All-Star Game starting battery since 1966 (McLain & Freehan).

2014: Aroldis Chapman of the Reds sets a new record by notching a strikeout in his 40th straight relief appearance, dating back to August 21, 2013. The previous record had been held by Bruce Sutter since 1977. Chapman strikes out the side against the Pirates on the way to his 20th save of the year.

2015: The Detroit Tigers signed Neftali Feliz as a free agent.
