DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
Totally Tigers
Sports journalists are winding up with stories that may happen within the next 1-2 months as the trade deadline looms. Anticipating which teams may be buyers or sellers and which players will be in the highest demand.
One of those being mentioned is Detroit Tigers? reliever, Alex Lange. He is currently one of MLB?s best, sporting a 3-0 record, a 1.16 ERA and an incredible .900 WHIP (through Thursday?s games). He was just named reliever of month for May.
Adding to this is Lange?s MLB minimum salary (through the next 2 years) although the Tigers could reward him with a raise before then.
Potentially, Detroit could get quite a bit for him. He will presumably be in high demand by teams looking to strengthen their bullpens esp. for playoff runs.
Should the Tigers trade him so they may fill in several holes or to help resolve their thin starting pitching? Let?s assume that if you say ?yes?, the return would be an acceptable one.
Or is it time for the Tigers to stop selling off their players and start keeping their good ones?
