DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
Totally Tigers

It’s looking more and more likely that the Detroit Tigers will be sellers at the trade deadline. So who will they sell?
The best odds are with 7 players who will become free agents after this season. Five of them are pitchers: Tarik Skubal, Drew Anderson, Jack Flaherty, Kenley Jansen and Casey Mize.
Four of these are starting pitchers.
If they were all to go, it would reduce the rotation to Troy Melton, Keider Montero and Framber Valdez. The Tigers would either have to call up prospects or resort to “pitching chaos” for the rest of the year (2+ months).
Keep in mind that there are 7 pitchers on the IL, including Justin Verlander, who are expected back at various times this season.
But selling off pitchers would also further increase the likelihood that this team will drop in performance – and in the standings.
Assuming the Tigers would get some decent value in return, what should they do?
Should they trade as many as possible or should they keep enough to fill out the rotation?
Today’s blog addresses this question and allows readers to share their thoughts in more detail. And hopefully, to actively engage with others by responding to their posts and creating back-and-forth discussion threads. The more the merrier!
For this one blog only, you’ve got 6 sentences max to share your thoughts. Of course, you can also respond to other readers. We hope you will as this blog actively promotes thoughtful dialog threads.
TT will supply the ammunition. One thought-provoking question. Several options provided. One hard choice to be selected. One vote.
Ready?

How many pitchers should the Tigers trade by the deadline?

1. As many as they can.

2. Enough that would allow keeping a full starting rotation.

I don't know why Flaherty is on this list. With his salary and how bad he is, nobody will want him. Just keep him and he can fill out the rotation.
