As we all know, the Detroit Tigers need to seriously boost their offense. But how are they going to do it?
Wait for their prospects to develop? There’s a lot of uncertainty and a long wait attached to this option.
Sign an expensive free agent to a long-term contract? They don’t always work out (see Baez, Javier) and can upset clubhouse culture and become an anchor down the road.
Or….
Trade some top prospects to get a proven hitter?
Let’s talk about this one.
It has its advantages in that the issues associated with free agents would be avoided. And it could jump start offense and performance immediately.
But it might take a bite out of the farm system’s talent and depth.
Let’s assume 2 things:
1. The better the bat, the more talent (the higher their rank in the standings) the Tigers will have to give up.
2. The Tigers won’t trade players like Jackson Jobe or Max Clark.
So, are you on board with trading top prospects for a proven bat?
To help you in your decision, here is the latest ranking of the Tigers’ top 30 prospects:

this is kind of a loaded question. Of course I would trade prospects for a proven hitter, but it really depends on the prospects and the return. I don't think there are any "proven hitters" on the trade block that are worth any decent prosects. I still believe that this team is still in the building phase and last years finish was a little bit of a fluke.
