DETROIT (AP) — Over the past few years, baseball’s trade deadline has been a source of excitement and anticipation in Detroit.
Whether he was pulling off a blockbuster last year for David Price or adding players like Anibal Sanchez and Jose Iglesias in previous seasons, general manager Dave Dombrowski has always been ready to act. With the deadline approaching again, Dombrowski is facing a new set of questions.
The Tigers entered the All-Star break at 44-44, in third place in the AL Central. After four straight division titles, they now trail first-place Kansas City by nine games, and there’s already speculation around Detroit that the team might be better off trading some of its top players and reshaping the roster for next year.
