In other news, after designating Matt Manning for assignment earlier in the day, the Tigers dealt him to the Philadelphia Phillies for 18-year-old outfielder Josueth Quinonez, who is currently playing in the DSL and showing pretty good contact ability for that level.
Manning's career with Detroit will be defined by his shortcomings, having gone 11-15 with a 4.43 ERA in 50 career games with the Tigers.

The Guardians claimed right-hander Carlos Hernandez off waivers from the Tigers, according to MLB.com’s Tim Stebbins. Detroit designed Hernandez for assignment last week.

The Tigers announced that right-hander Matt Manning has been dealt to the Phillies in exchange for minor league outfielder Josueth Quinonez. Manning was designated for assignment by Detroit earlier today, and this trade was completed just under the wire of the 5pm CT trade deadline. Philadelphia designated right-hander Devin Sweet for assignment in a corresponding roster move.

TRADE DEADLINE – FAN FEEDBACK.
Totally Tigers

Yesterday was the deadline for 2025 trades. The Tigers acquired these players:
  • Starting pitcher Chris Paddack and RHP Randy Dobnak from the Twins in exchange for catcher prospect Enrique Jimenez.
  • Right-handed reliever Rafael Montero from the Braves (free agent after this year) in exchange for infielder Jim Jarvis.
  • Closer Paul Sewald from the Guardians for cash or PTNL.
  • Closer Nate Finnegan from the Nationals in exchange for 2 A-level pitching prospects.
  • Codi Heuer from the Rangers in exchange for cash.
  • Starting pitcher Charlie Morton from the Orioles in exchange for 1 A-level pitcher.
Harris had previously said that he would not trade any ranked prospects. As well, more significant players who were 2-month rentals would not be seriously considered.
The battle over who would win Eugenio Suarez (free agent in 2 months) was won by the Mariners who gave up 3 prospects. Two of them were ranked within Seattle’s top 20 prospects.
Today, we’re opening up the blog for fans to share their thoughts about what happened – or didn’t.

What an embarrassing trade deadline for Harris.
Man he just sucks at these.
The Melton move has to be innings related..
 
FWIW. ESPN had the Tigers on the loser list at the deadline.

The Tigers were busy adding pitching at the deadline -- with starters Chris Paddack and Charlie Morton and relievers Kyle Finnegan, Paul Sewald, Rafael Montero and Codi Heuer -- but that group doesn't do much to address the bullpen problems that have plagued the Tigers for two months, and Paddack or Morton merely replaces the injured Reese Olson without providing an upgrade.

Granted, with a comfortable nine-game lead in the AL Central and their division rivals not doing anything to improve, the Tigers weren't under any intense pressure to improve. Still, in a season in which the AL is so wide open, it was a disappointingly conservative approach to the trade deadline, especially because Detroit has one of the top farm systems in the majors. The Tigers didn't have to trade Kevin McGonigle or Max Clark or Bryce Rainer to get better, but they should have at least added an impact reliever.

I like the Finnegan add, hate the Braves reliever and think he will.be replaced by Lange or Montero, from a playoff perspective adding Morton is respectable given he has so much history there and (knock on wood) as long as Skubal stays healthy you ride him in the playoffs. They desperately need Mize to return to form.

Long story short I give it a C for this year, a B plus for the org long term health.

I read he has thrown a lot of innings for the season, and they can prolong his season as a late innings reliever into the playoffs.

You gotta wonder, this aggressive innings limit on young guys that this organization uses is kind of pointless considering the extremely high rate of tommy john and other injuries that they deal with every year.

That said, I think he instantly becomes our best reliever lol

I wouldn't be surprised to see Mize go on the 15 day IL.
 
Just to note:
Rafael Montero: 1.54 E-F, 115 Stuff+ Sinker (47th out of 366 relievers).
Kyle Finnegan: 0.78 E-F, 110 Stuff+ Splitter (18th out of 98 relievers).
Paul Sewald: 0.62 E-F, 123 Stuff+ 4-Seam (8th out of 512 relievers).

What does any of this mean?

It means each pitchers FIP is at least 0.62 lower than their ERA -- which would suggest they've been at least a little bit affected by their defense more than their actual skill set. Also means that they each have a pitch that's got physical characteristics that are above average.
 
Since Aug. 11, 2024, the Tigers are 95-59 (.617 winning percentage) — MLB's best record over that 154-game stretch.
They're 21-8 (.724) in Tarik Skubal starts.
They're 74-51 (.592) in all other games.
