Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila doesn’t have too much to work with at the upcoming trade deadline. What trade assets the Tigers have will be needed for the trade deadline. That means that players like Daniel Norris, Michael Fulmer and Matt Boyd aren’t going anywhere.
What’s more, it also means prospects like JaCoby Jones and Joe Jimenez are staying in the Detroit organization.
In a perfect world, Avila would be able to acquire an extra reliever and perhaps a starting pitcher or two without mortgaging the future.
