Are Detroit Tigers really good enough to win final AL wild card spot after trade deadline?
Ryu is an ace, and hell give the Blue Jays a chance to win every time he takes the mound. All three of the Blue Jays deadline acquisitions have been very good in the past and could be so again, but theyre far from safe. Of the seven relievers who have made at least 10 appearances for the Blue Jays, six have sub-3.00 ERAs. As good as Soto and Cisnero have been, the edge has to go to the Blue Jays. Add in the much easier remaining schedule and it looks like itll be a tall task for the Tigers to overcome the Blue Jays for the final wild card spot.

In that full season, Andujar hit 27 home runs and 47 doubles in 149 games with a low strikeout rate and a .297/.328/.527 slash line. Andujar has shown what he can do in a full season, and Frazier deserves a chance to validate his prospect pedigree. But with Miguel Cabreras contract the only post-arbitration deal on the books after this season, the Tigers have plenty of money to spend.
