Matthew Boyd is not the only Detroit Tigers pitcher who is enjoying a breakout year. Shane Greene, the Tigers closer, has emerged as one of the best late inning options in the American League. His efforts earned him his first All-Star nod, and now has made him a popular trade target for many contenders in the Majors, including the Atlanta Braves.
Greene has had a pretty interesting career to this point. A well-thought of prospect with the Yankees in the early to mid part of this decade, Greene was traded to Detroit in the deal that sent Didi Gregorius to New York and Robbie Ray to Arizona.
