DETROIT -- The MLB trade deadline is approaching soon and it will be a major surprise if the Detroit Tigers don’t make at least one deal. There won’t be a perfect overlap between the players the Tigers want to trade and the players other teams are interested in. In this group, he’s the most likely to be dealt and the most likely to have some interested suitors.

There’s not much to do down there besides hydrate.”Other traits of a good bullpen? We don’t have the best line of sight.”Tropicana Field doesn’t even really have a bullpen, but it does have a great line of sight. Tampa Bay and Oakland are the last two bullpen holdouts, largely because of stadium design rather than any aesthetic choice. Usually, for lack of a better way to say it, they’re more uptight and anxious in the dugout.

Sox fans insist it was Goodrum who provoked an innocent Abreu, who had just executed a hard but legal slide. Hinch noted on Monday -- not as a threat, but as a simple statement of fact -- that the White Sox have more to lose than the Tigers. The White Sox are headed for the playoffs. And even the slight risk of it happening should be enough for the White Sox to hold off on any retaliation until 2022.

DETROIT -- The final inning of the Detroit Tigers’ final game of the season at Comerica Park was one to remember. Jomboy Media has video of the incident from the White Sox broadcast.

Christin Stewart had a difficult path to the Opening Day roster at the start of spring training. But going down and having Triple-A performance is one thing; it still has to be sustainable in the big leagues. “He’s super-confident in the minor leagues, but just hasn’t found that confidence in the big leagues,” Hinch said. That’s where potential big-league reinforcements will train and be ready for a short-notice call-up to the big leagues. If we need help quickly in the bullpen, I think he’s equipped himself to help us faster than I anticipated.”

Right-handed pitcher Alex Lange, the fourth player whose contract was selected by the Tigers last month, might have been the most borderline case. The lost 2020 season has complicated the decisions for many teams, especially for younger prospects or borderline prospects who were left off the 60-man player pool. The Tigers’ 40-man roster is currently full, which means they’ll have to drop someone soon to clear a spot to draft a player. Detroit Tigers pitcher Alex Faedo (75) calls for a clarification of a drill during their first full-squad practice of 2018 spring training at TigerTown in Lakeland, on Monday, February 19, 2018.
