Perhaps Dave Dombrowski is the Tigers MVP.

Ranked 3rd best GM by heyman at SI.
3. Dave Dombrowski, Tigers. Victor Martinez was one of the best free-agent signings (as opposed to Adam Dunn, whom they also considered), and he has hit .326 and fit right into the Tigers' team. Maybe nobody did better at the trade deadline than Dombrowski, who added Doug Fister, who's 4-1 with a 2.64 ERA now that he's with a team that can support him. Wilson Betemit and Delmon Young have contributed, as well. Joaquin Benoit has come back, now has a 1.10 WHIP and may not be the overpay that he seemed initially. Jhonny Peralta, a solid move a year ago, has gone under the radar but has 18 homers, 77 RBIs and a .304 batting average, even better numbers than those of rival Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera.
