The Detroit Tigers have until August 31 to trade their players on expiring contracts. Thus far three players; Jose Iglesias, Francisco Liriano and Jordan Zimmermann, have passed through waivers. That means they are eligible to be dealt to any team.
With seven days remaining until the deadline, we will be writing up a potential trade daily. Yesterday looked at a potential deal to send Jose Iglesias to the Cardinals. Today we will look at shipping out our other expiring contract, veteran left-hander Francisco Liriano.
