The Detroit Tigers have improved in their play recently and are now 7 games under .500 and 6.5 games back in the AL Central (through Friday’s games). It is still unclear if they will be buyers, sellers or both by the trade deadline in 2 weeks.
They have 6 current players who will become free agents after this season: 3 starting pitchers, 2 position players and 1 reliever. Only 2 of them will have qualifying offers attached if they don’t get traded before the end of the year.
Should the Tigers decide to trade any of them, who should they get in return? MLB-ready player(s) or prospects in the higher levels of the minor league system?
Consider that many expect owners to lockout players on December 1st over a new CBA and they believe it will be a long one. This means that current MLB-level players will be unable to play next year while those in the minors will still have their regular season.
Also think about how any potential prospects received potentially may not be ready for promotion in either late 2027 or 2028.
Who should the Tigers primarily target in their trades?
