The major Detroit Tigers trade at the 2024 July deadline was the acquisition of Thayron Liranzo and Trey Sweeney from the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Jack Flaherty deal. That moved worked out well for both sides, but Scott Harris was busily dealing away several other players. Lefty Andrew Chafin went to the Texas Rangers in exchange for our 20th ranked prospect RHP Joseph Montalvo and RHP Chase Lee.
Lee is a sidearm reliever who rarely tops 91 mph, but his mix of fastball types and sweeper-slider combination makes him a tricky at-bat, especially for right-handed hitters.
